Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists Hardback
by James Thorson, Kasper Kristensen
Part of the Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics series
Hardback
Description
Ecological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics.
However, spatio-temporal statistics is often presented using a set of principles that may seem very distant from ecological theory or practice.
This book seeks to introduce a minimal set of principles and numerical techniques for spatio-temporal statistics that can be used to implement a wide range of real-world ecological analyses regarding animal movement, population dynamics, community composition, causal attribution, and spatial dynamics.
We provide a step-by-step illustration of techniques that combine core spatial-analysis packages in R with low-level computation using Template Model Builder.
Techniques are showcased using real-world data from varied ecological systems, providing a toolset for hierarchical modelling of spatio-temporal processes.
Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists is meant for graduate level students, alongside applied and academic ecologists.
