1 ,,,, 8/5/14 Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology What are they and why should we use them? y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 Jared S. Laufenberg PhD Canddate Unversty of Tennessee Dept of Forestry, Wldlfe and Fsheres May, :15 AM Room 160 PBB Topcs of Dscusson Ø Introducton to herarchcal models What s a herarchy? What s a statstcal model? What s a herarchcal model? What s NOT a herarchcal model? Ø Herarchcal models n populaton ecology Bref prmer to populaton ecology Process-only models Process + observaton model Hyper-parameter models Ø Why should we use herarchcal models? Scope and scale of nference Correct accountng of varance Borrowng strength Ø Areas of actve development Integrated populaton models Spatal capture-recapture models Ø Herarchcal modelng resources Introduc)on to Herarchcal Models y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 1
2 8/5/14 Introducton to Herarchcal Models What s a herarchy? Defnton: herarchy (noun) A seres of ordered groupngs of people or thngs wthn a system Royle et al. 013 Defnton: classfcaton (noun) the arrangement of enttes n a herarchcal seres of nested classes, n whch smlar or related classes at one herarchcal level are combned comprehensvely nto more nclusve classes at the next hgher level Mayr and Bock 00 Introducton to Herarchcal Models What s a herarchy? Ø Herarches n populaton ecology: ECOLOGICAL SCALES OF ORGANIZATION Metacommunty: dstrbuton of communtes Communty: dstrbuton of metapopulatons Metapopulaton: dstrbuton of populatons Populaton: dstrbuton of ndvduals How dfferent factors affect dfferent herarchcal levels Introducton to Herarchcal Models What s a herarchy? Dstrbuton and abundance of ovenbrds:

Dstrbuton and abundance of ovenbrds: Occurrence dependent on patch sze Condtonal on occurrence Local densty dependent on habtat qualty Hgh Medum 0.5 x Low x x Introducton to Herarchcal Models What s a herarchy? Ø Herarches n populaton ecology: NUMBER OF RECRUITS AS OUTCOME OF A SERIES OF PROCESSES Survvng adults Eggs produced Fertlzed eggs Hatched eggs Survvng tadpoles 3
4 8/5/14 Introducton to Herarchcal Models What s a statstcal model? Defnton: statstcal model (noun) A formal descrpton of a number generatng process comprsed of a determnstc and a stochastc component, expressed algebracally, and based on probablty dstrbutons (.e., parametrc) Parametrc statstcal modelng means descrbng a carcature of the machne that plausbly could have produced the numbers we observe Kery 010 Determnstc Stochastc Introducton to Herarchcal Models The Herarchcal Model Defnton: herarchcal model (noun) A seres of [parametrc] models, ordered by ther condtonal probablty structure aka: state-space, mult-level, random-effects, GLMM, nested Example: SPECIES OCCURRENCE MODEL State process Royle et al. 013 Observaton process Observaton s CONDITIONAL on true state Introducton to Herarchcal Models NOT Herarchcal Models Ø Step-down or Stepwse model selecton The ad hoc process of holdng model structure constant for some parameters, whle nvestgatng structures for others Example: Cormack-Jolly-Seber model Model parameters: ϕ (apparent survval) and p (detecton probablty) 1) Hold ϕ constant, test alternatve structures for p ) Hold best structure for p constant, test ϕ NOT RECOMMENDED Doherty et al. 01 4
5 8/5/14 Introducton to Herarchcal Models NOT Herarchcal Models Ø Mult-stage analyses (.e., statstcs on statstcs) The process of usng estmates from an ntal analyss as nput data for a secondary analyss Example: Evaluate habtat effects on local abundance (N) Obtan estmate N-hat Introducton to Herarchcal Models NOT Herarchcal Models Ø Mult-stage analyses (.e., statstcs on statstcs) The process of usng estmates from an ntal analyss as nput data for a secondary analyss Example: Evaluate habtat effects on abundance (N) 1) Estmate abundances from encounter data N-hat 1 N-hat N-hat 6 ) Test for relatonshp between N estmates and habtat varables A WELL KNOWN NO NO n STATISTICS N-hat 4 N-hat 3 N-hat 7 N-hat 5 N-hat 8 N-hat 9 Introducton to Herarchcal Models NOT Herarchcal Models Ø Bayesan nference A statstcal nference paradgm based on Bayes theorem that uses probablty to descrbe all unknown quanttes Bayesan herarchcal modelng: The fttng of herarchcal models usng Bayesan methods Herarchcal models can also be ft usng frequentst methods 5
6 ,, 8/5/14 Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology Populaton ecology Ø Abundance and dstrbuton of ndvduals and speces Ø Dynamcs of populatons, metapopulatons, communtes, etc. Ø Factors affectng abundance, dstrbuton, and dynamcs Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology How do we use herarchcal models n the study of populaton ecology? Ø Match structure of the statstcal model to the structure of our conceptual model of ecologcal processes Frog recruts revsted: # of recruts (R) nto adult class 6
7 8/5/14 Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology How do we use herarchcal models n the study of populaton ecology? Ø Match structure of the statstcal model to the structure of our conceptual model of ecologcal processes Frog recruts revsted: # of recruts (R) nto adult class e.g., female body mass, pathologes, etc e.g., male body mass, pathologes, etc e.g., predator densty, temp, etc e.g., predator densty, temp, etc Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology How do we use herarchcal models n the study of populaton ecology? Ø Incorporate condtonal observaton process nto model structure to account for mperfect detecton Example: CORMACK-JOLLY-SEBER MODEL State process A A A A A D D Observaton process Observaton s CONDITIONAL on true state Herarchcal Models n Populaton Ecology How do we use herarchcal models n the study of populaton ecology? Ø Impose addtonal structure va hyper-parameters Example: CORMACK-JOLLY-SEBER MODEL Indvdual covarates Temporal covarate and random effects and random effects Evolutonary processes on ftness Envronmental processes on ftness 7
8 ,, 8/5/14 Why Should We Use Herarchcal Models? y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 Why Use Herarchcal Models? Scope and Scale of Inference Ø Extend nference beyond levels under study Generalze to populaton from whch sample unts were drawn ü Need to known means and varances of global processes Ø Scale-dependent nference Evaluate factors affectng dfferent levels of ecologcal processes ü Dstrbuton and abundance of ovenbrds Why Use Herarchcal Models? Correct accountng of varance Ø Random effects allow parttonng of process and samplng varances Crtcal for populaton proecton models used n populaton vablty analyses Ø Avods varance-accountng problems wth mult-stage analyses Volaton of constant samplng varance assumpton Ø Allows modelng covarances among dfferent parameters Temporal covarance between survval and recrutment 8
9 ,, 8/5/14 Why Use Herarchcal Models? Borrowng strength Ø Fxed effects can result n mprecse or extreme groupspecfc estmates for small samples Ø By constranng parameters by a common dstrbuton (random effects), ndvdual estmates are pulled toward the global mean (e.g., shrnkage) Ø Indvdual estmates borrow strength from the ensemble Ø Assumpton of exchangeablty must hold Areas of Actve Development y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 Areas of Actve Development Integrated Populaton Models Ø Integrate data from multple sources to model ndvdual demographc processes Capture-recapture and known-fate data for survval Ø Integrate data from multple demographc processes to model populaton dynamcs Capture-recapture, reproducton, known-fate, and band-return data Ø Extend populaton models to metapopulaton and communty models Shared nformaton among multple populatons or smlar speces 9
10 ,, 8/5/14 Areas of Actve Development Spatal Capture-Recapture Models Ø Explct modelng of terrtoralty Spatal nteractons among ndvduals Ø Extendng models to accommodate gregarous speces Non-ndependence of ndvdual actvty centers Ø Development of explct movement models Dspersal, transence, and mgraton Herarchcal Modelng Resources y z, θ,1 1,, 3,,3 Herarchcal Modelng Resources Royle, J.
