| Abstract | " Bayesian Analysis of Capture-Recapture Data with Hidden Markov Models: Theory and Case Studies in R and NIMBLE introduces ecologists and statisticians to a powerful and unifying framework for analysing capture-recapture data. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become a cornerstone in modern population ecology, offering a flexible way to decompose complex processes such as survival, recruitment, and dispersal into simpler building blocks, while explicitly accounting for the fact that we only observe imperfect data rather than the true underlying states. Combined with Bayesian inference, HMMs provide a natural and transparent approach to handle uncertainty, explore model structures, and draw robust conclusions. This book illustrates how to bring these ideas to life using the R package NIMBLE, a fast-developing environment for building and fitting hierarchical models"-- Provided by publisher. |
