Applied statistical modelling for ecologists : a practical guide to Bayesian and likelihood inference using R, JAGS, NIMBLE, Stan and TMB /

"Applied Statistical Modelling for Ecologists provides a gentle introduction to the essential models of applied statistics: linear models, generalized linear models, mixed and hierarchical models. All models are fit with both a likelihood and a Bayesian approach, using several powerful software...
