The wide range of datasets provides plenty of examples of the common “problematic” data types you'll run into (all those issues listed above) and how to attack them. Thorough model R data structures. Drawing on extensive experience teaching these techniques to graduate students in ecology, Benjamin Bolker shows how to choose among and construct statistical models for data, estimate their parameters and confidence limits, and interpret the results. Ecological Models and Data in R. First, he explored the logistic map x_{t + 1} = r x_t(1 - x_t) May and colleagues make these connections precise by building analytic models for toy financial systems and then using their experience and tools from theoretical ecology to solve these models. They are more likely to work correctly when extrapolating beyond the observed conditions. Scientists at Northern Arizona University and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis have developed a model that uses circuit theory to predict gene flow across landscapes. -Bolker (2008) Ecological models and Data in R, p7. I just noticed that Ben Bolker's Ecological Models and Data in R has been published! One reason seems to be that software platforms for implementing ABMs and for statistical analysis are separated, so that thorough model analysis requires the cumbersome transfer of data via file output and input. *Required Qualifications:* A PhD in geography, ecology, forestry, or civil = engineering is required with expertise in data mining, spatial modeling, an= d/or multivariate statistical analysis. In exchange for mathematical tools, finance provides ecology with a wealth of data. Inspired by (but independent of) ecology. Building on the successful Analysing Ecological Data (2007) by Zuur, Ieno and Smith, the authors now provide an expanded introduction to using regression and its extensions in analysing ecological data. TITLE: Introduction to Bolker's book, "Ecological Models and Data in R". Further, the cross-fertilization is not one-sided. The figures I'm interested in for this post are M <- matrix( c(20/33, -2/11, 8/33, 46/33) , ncol=2 ) A <- eigen (M)$vectors D <- diag(eigen(M)$values) N <- array( dim=c(11, 2) ) n0 <- matrix( c(2,1) ) N[1,] <- n0 for(i in 2:11){ N[i,] <- A %*% D^(i-1) %*% solve(A) %*% n0 } N <- as.data.frame(N). Ecological Models and Data in R by Ben Bolker is a great book for learning applied ways to manipulate data, formulate analyses, and generate graphics in R. This post is actually about replicating the figures in Otto and Day: A Biologist's Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution. Potential uses of these extensions of NetLogo are advanced plots provided by R, the calculation of home ranges in ecological models, spatial statistics, network analysis, and the usage of specific random distributions.
