Estimating the distance at which narwhal respond to disturbance: a penalized threshold hidden Markov model
Fanny Dupont, Marianne Marcoux, Nigel E. Hussey +2
Understanding behavioural responses to disturbances is vital for wildlife conservation. For example, in the Arctic, the decrease in sea ice has opened new shipping routes, increasi…
Inferring resource selection and utilization distributions from irregular and error-prone animal tracking data
Fanny Dupont, Brett T. McClintock, Jan-Ole Fischer +3
Habitat selection and space use are fundamental to understanding animal distribution. Traditional methods for quantifying habitat preferences from telemetry data assume regular sam…
Flexible unimodal density estimation in hidden Markov models
Jan-Ole Koslik, Fanny Dupont, Marie Auger-Méthé +3
1. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful tools for modelling time-series data with underlying state structure. However, selecting appropriate parametric forms for the state-depe…
Improved order selection method for hidden Markov models: a case study with movement data
Fanny Dupont, Marianne Marcoux, Nigel Hussey +1
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a versatile statistical framework commonly used in ecology to characterize behavioural patterns from animal movement data. In HMMs, the observed dat…
