New blog post! We show how to marginalise discrete variables from Bayesian ecological models in Stan and how to recover their posterior distributions after estimation. I cover occupancy and N-mixture models using multiple parameterisations and model types. quantecol.com.au/blog/margin…
🔖New blog post! We wrote a post on why defaulting to Gaussian processes for spatial or temporal effects often makes more sense than traditional random effects. We use data on tadpoles and use @mcmc_stan to illustrate the straightforward implementation. quantecol.com.au/blog/gaussi…
Congrats to @emery_jp for putting this manuscript together, an amazing field study with immaculate execution on the reintroduction of Extinct in the Wild reptiles to Christmas Island.

🚨 We launched a blog! In our first post, we explore how ecological models can be formulated as hidden Markov models and present a scalable formulation of the forward algorithm for increasingly complex models using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo in @mcmc_stan.

Good stuff!
🚨 New #OpenAccess paper in #Oecologia with
@Wild_ByNature, @laurafgrogan, @LA_Brannelly, and #notontwitter Hamish McCallum. We did mark-recapture with juvenile Fleay's barred frogs and found that chytrid did not predict their mortality rates. 1/

How good! @realHollanders will be presenting this paper at the 2022 virtual #AmphibianDiseaseMeeting 🐸 as a keynote at 15:00 on November 10 (MST). You can still sign up here! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
New paper! 📢 The second chapter of my PhD was just published in @MethodsEcolEvol 🤯 @andyroyle_pwrc and I developed a multievent mark-recapture model that accounts for state assignment errors in both sampling and diagnostic protocols in disease models! 🧑🔬doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13…
Robust design FTW! If disease sampling sensitivity (and/or specificity) is low, estimates for infection dynamics are incredibly biased in traditional multistate models.

Quantecol's first project! This was a great collaboration with researchers at @SCUonline, where Quantecol conducted dose-response analyses to investigate the effect of DMSO on biofilm formation.
New paper! Really great to work with this team and do some fun dose-response modeling. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
