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…
An introduction to statistical models used to characterize species-habitat associations with animal movement data
Katie R. N. Florko, Ron R. Togunov, Rowenna Gryba +4
Understanding species-habitat associations is fundamental to ecological sciences and for species conservation. Consequently, various statistical approaches have been designed to in…
