Jonas Knape
I'm interested in the application and development of statistical methods to analyze ecological population data.

Research

  • Methods for and analyses of long term population monitoring data
  • Time series analyses of population dynamics
  • Population dynamics and demography of northern wheatears - with Debora Arlt, Pär Forslund, Matt Low, Matthieu Paquet and Tomas Pärt.
  • Analyses of opportunstic citizen science data

 

Software

  • poptrend - An R package for estimating population trends using data from count surveys.

  • nmixgof- An R package with goodness of fit checks for N-mixture models.
