Modern ecological and environmental sciences are dominated by observational data. As a result, traditional statistical training often leaves scientists ill-prepared for the data analysis tasks they encounter in their work. Bayesian methods provide a more robust and flexible tool for data analysis, as they enable information from different sources to be brought into the modelling process. Bayesi...

Modern ecological and environmental sciences are dominated by observational data. As a result, traditional statistical training often leaves scientists ill-prepared for the data analysis tasks they encounter in their work. Bayesian methods provide a more robust and flexible tool for data analysis, as they enable information from different sources to be brought into the modelling process. Bayesian Applications in Evnironmental and Ecological Studies with R and Stan provides a Bayesian framework for model formulation, parameter estimation, and model evaluation in the context of analyzing environmental and ecological data.Features:An accessible overview of Bayesian methods in environmental and ecological studiesEmphasizes the hypothetical deductive process, particularly model formulationNecessary background material on Bayesian inference and Monte Carlo simulationDetailed case studies, covering water quality monitoring and assessment, ecosystem response to urbanization, fisheries ecology, and moreAdvanced chapter on Bayesian applications, including Bayesian networks and a change point modelComplete code for all examples, along with the data used in the book, are available via GitHubThe book is primarily aimed at graduate students and researchers in the environmental and ecological sciences, as well as environmental management professionals. This is a group of people representing diverse subject matter fields, who could benefit from the potential power and flexibility of Bayesian methods.
