Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting Hidden Markov Models to multi-state capture recapture data of invasive Silver Carp in the Illinois River Comparing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods for fitting Hidden Markov Models to multi-state capture recapture data of invasive Silver Carp in the Illinois River
This repository contains the data, code for modeling and analysis, and publication markdown documents for a comparison of various methods for fitting multi-state models, including maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches via R.
Evaluating the effectiveness of joint species distribution modeling for riverine fish communities Evaluating the effectiveness of joint species distribution modeling for riverine fish communities
Species Distribution Models (JSDMs) allow for accounting for both environmental predictors and species dependencies within a single statistical modeling frameworks. However, it is unclear under what conditions incorporating residual species dependencies (conditional predictions) might outperform predictions made using only environmental information (marginal predictions). Here, we...
Landslide Automated Geospatial Processing Software Using a High-Performance Computer Landslide Automated Geospatial Processing Software Using a High-Performance Computer
This software contains the data processing for nationwide landslide research described in Mirus et al. 2024, Parsimonious landslide-susceptibility modeling at continental scales: Application for the conterminous United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. To perform geospatial processing over the large geographic area, each 1/3 arc-second (10-meter) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is...
Vignette Bayesian Site Occupancy Model Bat Acoustic Data Vignette Bayesian Site Occupancy Model Bat Acoustic Data
The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how data collected by the Pacific Northwest Bat Hub, a member of the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat), may be used to make inferences about species occurrence. As motivation, we consider occurrence data collected on Silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans, LANO) in Oregon and Washington in 2019. In particular, we are...

This ArcGIS Pro project template is being provided to the public in support of scientists who wish to upload data to the Conservation Efforts Database (CED).
Python-based Subaerial Barrier Sediment Partitioning (pySBSP) model (ver. 1.0, February 2024) Python-based Subaerial Barrier Sediment Partitioning (pySBSP) model (ver. 1.0, February 2024)
The Python-based Subaerial Barrier Sediment Partitioning (pySBSP) model is a framework to simulate the morphological development of an idealized barrier coast in the cross-shore domain. It is based off the original framework of the same name, which is coded in in MATLAB. pySBSP consists of two scripts; one includes a basic graphical user interface (GUI) to simplify parameter input, while...
