Spatial Dynamic in a Host-Parasitoid system

In this post I will explore the spatial dynamic that arise from a simple deterministic host-parasitoid model with migration in a homogeneous environment. If the previous sentence did not drive you away, congrats (!) you are most certainly in a terminal state towards biological nerditude. The idea of this post emerged while reading Chp. 6 …

Crossed and Nested hierarchical models with STAN and R

Below I will expand on previous posts on bayesian regression modelling using STAN (see previous instalments here, here, and here). Topic of the day is modelling crossed and nested design in hierarchical models using STAN in R. Crossed design appear when we have more than one grouping variable and when data are recorded for each …
