These topics are vitally important to almost every type of statistical analysis, yet these topics are often poorly or incompletely understood. We begin by considering the fundamental […]

Given that Bayesian methods differ conceptually and theoretically from their classical statistical counterparts that are traditionally taught in statistics courses, many researchers do not have opportunities to learn the fundamentals of Bayesian methods, which makes using Bayesian data […]

This is partially due to a large number of R packages devoted to applying various spatial methods. These packages, however, are being revised, updated, or even superseded to allow for better performance, simpler user interface, or expanded capabilities. Substantial recent […]

Research results are often based on complex statistical analyses which make use of various software. In this context, it becomes rather difficult […]

Structural equation modelling is a rapidly growing technique in ecology and evolution that unites multiple hypotheses in a single causal network. It provides an intuitive graphical representation […]
