Variance propagation for density surface models
Mark V Bravington, David L Miller, Sharon L Hedley
Spatially-explicit estimates of population density, together with appropriate estimates of uncertainty, are required in many management contexts. Density Surface Models (DSMs) are…
An Extended Empirical Saddlepoint Approximation for Intractable Likelihoods
Matteo Fasiolo, Simon N. Wood, Florian Hartig +1
The challenges posed by complex stochastic models used in computational ecology, biology and genetics have stimulated the development of approximate approaches to statistical infer…
Modelling latent individual heterogeneity in mark-recapture data with Dirichlet process priors
Jessica H Ford, Toby A Patterson, Mark V Bravington
The natural subgroups often seen in mark-recapture studies and the complexity of real mark-recapture data means that parametric and discrete style models can be insufficient. Non-p…
Efficient MCMC implementation of multi-state mark-recapture models
Jessica H Ford, Toby A Patterson, Mark V Bravington
Inherent differences in behaviour of individual animal movement can introduce bias into estimates of population parameters derived from mark-recapture data. Additionally, quantifyi…
