基本説明

Provides an overview on the wide rang eof ecological models used to better understand biological systems, from the cell tot he ecosphere.

Full Description

In the application of statistics to ecological inference problems, hierarchical models combine explicit models of ecological system structure or dynamics with models of how ecological systems are observed. The principles of hierarchical modeling are applied in this book to a wide range of problems ranging from the molecular level, through populations, ecosystems, landscapes, networks, through to the global ecosphere.
