An Integrated Time-Varying Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process for Jointly Modeling Individual and Population-Level Movement of Golden Eagles
Michael L. Shull, Ephraim M. Hanks, James C. Russell +2
With technological advancements, the quantity and quality of animal movement data have increased greatly. Currently, no movement model can be used to describe full-year data from m…
Multiscale modelling of animal movement with persistent dynamics
Théo Michelot, Ephraim M. Hanks
Wild animals are commonly fitted with trackers that record their position through time, and statistical models for tracking data broadly fall into two categories: models focused on…
Modeling First Arrival of Migratory Birds using a Hierarchical Max-infinitely Divisible Process
Dhanushi A. Wijeyakulasuriya, Ephraim M. Hanks, Benjamin A. Shaby
Humans have recorded the arrival dates of migratory birds for millennia, searching for trends and patterns. As the first arrival among individuals in a species is the realized tail…
A New Framework for Inference on Markov Population Models
Adam Walder, Ephraim M. Hanks
In this work we construct a joint Gaussian likelihood for approximate inference on Markov population models. We demonstrate that Markov population models can be approximated by a s…
A Mechanistic Model of Annual Sulfate Concentrations in the United States
Nathan B. Wikle, Ephraim M. Hanks, Lucas R. F. Henneman +1
We develop a mechanistic model to analyze the impact of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants on average sulfate concentrations in the central United States. A mult…
Privacy for Spatial Point Process Data
Adam Walder, Ephraim M. Hanks, Aleksandra Slavković
In this work we develop methods for privatizing spatial location data, such as spatial locations of individual disease cases. We propose two novel Bayesian methods for generating s…
