Bayesian inference for continuous time animal movement based on steps and turns [PDF]
Bayesian Statistics in Action: BAYSM 2016, Florence, Italy, June
19-21 (2017) Springer vol.194, 2016 Although animal locations gained via GPS, etc. are typically observed on a discrete time scale, movement models formulated in continuous time are preferable in order to avoid the struggles experienced in discrete time when faced with irregular observations or the prospect of comparing analyses on different time scales. A class of models able to emulate

Factors affecting velvet antler weights in free-ranging reindeer in Alaska
Rangifer, 1999 Free-ranging reindeer on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska are rounded up from late May to early July and antlers are removed. We used data collected from 1987 to 1997 to determine how velvet antler weights of males and females varied with age, year,
