- Abstract:
- In order to estimate the survival rates of wild animals, data are collected from previously marked individuals. Coupled with appropriate probability models and appropriate statistical methods, it is possible to use the data to estimate the desired survival rates. To date the main statistical methods used are 'classical', and there is a need for the approaches to be updated, to include modern Bayesian procedures. In the proposed workshop, the Organisers will present the essentials of Bayesian methods for such data. There will be several practical sessions, where the workshop participants will gain hands-on experience of using the new techniques. By this means we hope to improve the statistical methods used in this very important area of statistical ecology.
