Methods in spatially explicit capture-recapture
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - ThesisCapture-recapture (CR) methods are a ubiquitous means of estimating animal abundance from wildlife surveys. They rely on the detection and subsequent redetection of individuals over a number of sampling occasions. It is ... -
The statistical development of integrated multi-state stopover models
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis focusses on the analysis of ecological capture-recapture data and the estimation of population parameters of interest. Many of the common models applied to such data, for example the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model, ... -
Randomness as a computational strategy : on matrix and tensor decompositions
(University of St Andrews, 2017-11-20) - ThesisMatrix and tensor decompositions are fundamental tools for finding structure and data processing. In particular, the efficient computation of low-rank matrix approximations is an ubiquitous problem in the area of machine ... -
Incorporating animal movement with distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisDistance sampling and spatial capture-recapture are statistical methods to estimate the number of animals in a wild population based on encounters between these animals and scientific detectors. Both methods estimate the ... -
Gaussian Markov random fields and structural additive regression : applications in freshwater fisheries management
(University of St Andrews, 2017-06-23) - ThesisIn this thesis structural additive regression (STAR) models are constructed for two applications in freshwater fisheries management 1) large scale modelling of fish abundance using electrofishing removal data and 2) ...
