A Hierarchical Bayesian Non-linear Spatio-temporal Model for the Spread of Invasive Species with Application to the Eurasian Collared-Dove
Hooten, Mevin B., 1976-; Wikle, Christopher K., 1963- (Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2007)Differential equation based advection-diffusion models have been used in atmospheric science to mimic complex processes such as weather and climate. Differential and partial-differential equations (PDE's) have become popular ... -
Hierarchical spatio-temporal models for ecological processes
Hooten, Mevin B., 1976- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Ecosystems are composed of phenomena that propagate in time and space. Often, ecological processes underlying such phenomena are studied separably in various subdisciplines, while larger scale, interlinking mechanisms are ... -
Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Ground Flora on Large Domains Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Model
Hooten, Mevin B., 1976-; Larsen, David R. (David Rolf); Wikle, Christopher K., 1963- (Landscape Ecology, 2003)Accomodation of important sources of uncertainty in ecological models is essential to realistically predicting ecological processes. The purpose of this project is to develop a robust methodology for modeling natural ... -
Shifts in the Spatio-Temporal Growth Dynamics of Shortleaf Pine
Hooten, Mevin B., 1976-; Wikle, Christopher K., 1963- (Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2007)Previous studies focusing on the growth history of pinus echinata at the edge of its geographical range have suggested that changes in growth correspond to climatic and non-climatic (e.g., anthropogenic) factors. We employ ...
