Welcome

Welcome to the online free version of the book Bayesian analysis of capture-recapture data with hidden Markov models: Theory and case studies in R and NIMBLE. If you’d like a physical copy of the book, you can order it on Routledge or Amazon.

Here, I write about three of my favorite research topics – capture-recapture, hidden Markov models and Bayesian statistics – let’s enjoy this great m/cocktail together 🍹

I welcome any feedback. You may raise an issue here, amend directly the R Markdown file that generated the page you’re reading by clicking on the ‘Edit this page’ icon in the right panel, or email me. Many thanks!
