Marginal Inference for Hierarchical Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Patterned Covariance Matrices Using the Laplace Approximation

Jay M. Ver Hoef, Eryn Blagg, Michael Dumelle +3

Using a hierarchical construction, we develop methods for a wide and flexible class of models by taking a fully parametric approach to generalized linear mixed models with complex…

A Linear Mixed Model Formulation for Spatio-Temporal Random Processes with Computational Advances for the Separable and Product-Sum Covariances

Michael Dumelle, Jay M. Ver Hoef, Claudio Fuentes +1

We describe spatio-temporal random processes using linear mixed models. We show how many commonly used models can be viewed as special cases of this general framework and pay close…

momentuHMM: R package for generalized hidden Markov models of animal movement

Brett T. McClintock, Theo Michelot

Discrete-time hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become an immensely popular tool for inferring latent animal behaviors from telemetry data. Here we introduce an open-source R packag…

Estimating demographic parameters using a combination of known-fate and open N-mixture models

Joshua H. Schmidt, Devin S. Johnson, Mark S. Lindberg +1

1. Accurate estimates of demographic parameters are required to infer appropriate ecological relationships and inform management actions. Recently developed N-mixture models use co…
