Models for Ecological Data. An Introduction. 2007. illus. XIII, 816 p. gr8vo. Cloth.
Introduces ecologists to modern methods in modeling and computation.Assuming only basic courses in calculus and statistics, the textintroduces readers to basic maximum likelihood and then works up to moreadvanced topics in Bayesian modeling and computation. It covers both classical statistical approaches and powerful new computational toolsand describes how complexity can motivate a shift from classical toBayesian methods. Also introduces readers to the practical work of datamodeling and computation in the language R.
