Daydle
Professional stuff I’m a senior statistician at Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland . I work on all kinds of statistical problems. I’m currently getting interested in aphids amongst other stuff. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about smooth models (in the generalized additive modelling framework) and counting animals, but I’m open to other stuff too.
Note that as of December 2022 I am no longer involved in the development of distance sampling-related projects! Please don’t contact me about them!
Previously: I worked as a research fellow at the Centre for Research into Ecological & Environmental Modelling and the School of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of St Andrews . While there I worked on improving spatial models for cetacean abundance and distribution with funding from the US Navy’s Living Marine Resources programme (see bottom half of page 8 of Summer 2017 LMR News and page 4 onwards of the Summer 2022 LMR News for some info).
