Workshop on issues in fitting hierarchical models in ecology

Frederic Gosselin, Etienne Rivot and I organised a 2-day workshop on issues in fitting hierarchical models in ecology. I gave a talk on “Local minima and multistate capture-recapture models”, slides and R code available on GitHub.

The idea is to consider several problematic case studies and explore the issues using several computing platforms (R, Jags, Nimble, Stan, Admb). Next meeting in May.
