STUDY DESIGN and INTERPRETATION
- Experimental and mensurative studies
- Categorical and quantitative data
- Sample size, power, effect size analysis
DATA ANALYTICS
- Consolidate information from databases
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping and spatial statistics
- Scripting using R programming, R markdown
- QAQC and cleaning of complex data sets
- Data summaries, frequencies of occurrence, and visualizations
- Community metrics (diversity, size-based indicators, biomass, abundance)
ADVANCED ANALYTICS
- Mixed effects modelling
- Hierarchical linear models (HML)
- Boosted regression tree (BRT) analysis
- Size spectrum modelling (normalized abundance size spectrum (NASS), normalized biomass size spectrum (NBSS), maximum likelihood estimation (MLE))
- Loading calculations using stratified Beale ratio estimator, weighted regression on time, discharge, and season - Kalman filter (WRTDS-K), stratified event mean concentration (EMC)
- Modelling censored data
- Simulating discharge, hydrograph separation
