Computing the Autocorrelation Function for the Autoregressive Process

In this document, we explain how complex integration theory can be used to compute the autocorrelation function for the autoregressive process. In particular, we use the deformation invariance theorem, and Cauchy’s residue theorem to reduce the problem of computing the autocorrelation function to the problem of computing residues of a particular function. The purpose of this paper is not only to illustrate a method by which one can derive the autocorrelation function of the autoregressive process, but also to demonstrate the applicability of complex analysis in statistical theory through simple examples

Report of the international scientific workshop on the Bellaât lagoon

This report follows an international scientific workshop held at the Iwik Biological Station, Mauritania in May 2022, relating to the creation of a new lagoon at the northern borders of the Banc d’Arguin National Park (PNBA) since 2013: the “Bellaât” lagoon. The main objective of this workshop was to verify the scientific and ecosystemic relevance of the appearance of a new lagoon coast enabling the protection of coastal flora and fauna and their habitats in a world that changes quickly. This workshop is organized by the Management of the PNBA in response to a recommendation of the Banc d’Arguin Scientific Council (CSBA). The workshop organizers aimed to address different scientific aspects of the formation of the lagoon, in particular ecology, sedimentology, paleontology, hydrology, geomorphology and climatology. This was done to establish a systematic monitoring system for key species and habitats that currently inhabitthe area, and to get a glimpse of future scenarios of coastal developments in an era of overall change
