Another useful addition to the ecological modeller's toolbox: highly flexible occupancy models in INLA. Between this and the flocker package (github.com/jsocolar/flock…) there is no excuse to not to meet ecological data complexity with model complexity

StanCon 2024 videos are now available!

I decided to restart my ecological stats blog posts. Check out this new one on why you should probably stop using the number of survey days as a covariate in occupancy models. Check it out! masonfidino.com/camera_days/

Excited to bring Joint Species Distribution Models to {mvgam}: nicholasjclark.github.io/mvgam/referenc…. Throw any of {mgcv}'s or {brms}'s flexible predictor effects into the factor or observation models and give it a whirl #rstats #communityecology

Amazing resource, thanks so much for sharing
