@willpkay @gatti_eleonora @ISEC_stats_ecol Fun times!

[Dr William Kay (he/him) @willpkay]

First time playing ultimate frisbee.. quickly became very competitive! Some good talent here at #ISEC2024! @ISEC_stats_ecol

@BobOHara @chrissuthy here ya go

A multistate capture-recapture model to estimate reproduction of North Atlantic right whales https://t.co/WDLbRMRjPG #biorxiv_ecology

[Oceans Initiative @oceansresearch]

Conservation science is interdisciplinary & collaborative. A great part is stepping back & admiring the sheer talent of your coauthors. Fun to watch Drs Nelson, Ward, & Linden turn our chats into Bayesian code. Statistical alchemy!

[Chris Sutherland @chrissuthy]

Chuffed to have this out. Really hope its taken in the spirit meant:

a) to put in black and white some advice we find ourselves giving an awful lot (often in response to reviewers)

b) a complement to a paper we regularly recommend folks read -> @Todd_W_Arnold 2010 (1/2)

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

this would make peer review much more fun

Looking for ways to evaluate model fit when conducting step-selection analyses or when fitting hidden Markov models? Check out our new preprint! With @signer_j and Smith Freeman #rstats

@vdVeenB @chrissuthy @RSocPublishing The phrase “model selection” often colloquially refers specifically to variable selection, even though the former can involve a larger set of decisions. Maybe this is a shortcoming of the discourse regarding model selection in the ecological literature…

[Richard McElreath 🐈‍⬛ @rlmcelreath]

I often get asked about Bayes factors and confidence intervals as alternative to p-values. I don’t think either of these is any solution at all. https://t.co/VqosMxVAbM

A bonus @CREEM_cake seminar today by Dan Linden (@dwlinden), research statistician at @NOAA.

Discussing discrete vs. continuous models for right whale population dynamics, and enjoying some #cake obviously!

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

@janawoerner happy to brag that @ljcurren named her after me (an old email handle) and even happier that she's still rocking

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

@BenCAugustine I wonder why these are not direct hires positions 😑

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

@vdVeenB To be clear, the measurement model is making predictions for the state model. The latter is where inference is desired, so it still happens as a result.

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

@vdVeenB The original motivation for B&A was hierarchical models where the measurement error (e.g., capture probability) has a potentially complex structure. Since the purpose is making predictions for the state variable, this seems like the perfect application of model selection, no?

[International Statistical Ecology Conference(ISEC) @ISEC_stats_ecol]

Our session on population dynamics and hierarchical modelling features whales, birds, and fish! Don't miss out on these exciting talks! Remember that #ISEC2022 is a hybrid event so there is still time to register as a virtual attendee!

@oaggimenez @Fuller_Lab @andyroyle_pwrc thanks @oaggimenez! I kinda wish we had fleshed that intro into a full blown conceptual review, as others eventually did. That Efford & Dawson (2012) paper was underrated...

[SMSC @SMConservation]

Only 1 mo. to apply to learn #cameratrapping analysis and study design from the experts [Jim Nichols, Jim Hines, @andyroyle_pwrc, @dwlinden, @chrissuthy]. Time to dig into that unspent travel money and build out your camtrap toolkit. June 6-17. #Rstats

@ThatEricAlper Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

[Dan Linden @dwlinden]

📣Postdoc opportunity in quantitative ecology, supporting @NOAAFish_NEFSC with population assessment of North Atlantic right whales. Novel statistical models and a great team of scientists across multiple federal agencies and NGOs!
