Frequentist analysis of hierarchical models for population dynamics and demographic data
Frequentist analysis of hierarchical models for population dynamics and demographic data
Hierarchical models include random effects or latent state variables. This class of models includes stateāspace models for population dynamics, which incorporate process and sampling variation, and models with random individual or year effects in captureāmarkārecapture models, for example. This paper reviews methods for frequentist analysis of hierarchical models and gives ā¦
