Applied Hierarchical Modeling in Ecology: Analysis of Distribution, Abundance and Species Richness in R and BUGS

Applied Hierarchical Modeling in Ecology, Volume 2 builds upon the first volume. It continuing to provide a synthesis of the state of the art in hierarchical models for plant and animal distribution, but in this volume focuses on the complex and more advanced models currently available. This book explains all procedures in the context of hierarchical models, which represent a unified approach to ecological research taking the reader from design, through data collection and into the analyses using a very powerful way of synthesizing data. Applied Hierarchical Modeling in Ecology Volume 2 makes ecological modelling accessible for people who are struggling to use current available complex or advanced modelling programsSynthesizes current ecological models and explains how they are inter-connectedSpecific examples are given throughout the book, walking the reading through scenarios with each real and simulated data for greater comprehensionIdeal for ecologists working in R, an open source version of S known for its exceptional ecology analyses and in BUGS for more flexible Bayesian analyses INDICE: Part 1: Models for dynamic systems 13.
