Introducing {maposm}, an R package that extracts, modifies and merges sets of layers from OpenStreetMap for cartographic purposes. On github: github.com/riatelab/maposm The package is not on CRAN, but it is on r-universe: riatelab.r-universe.dev/maposm #RStats #rspatial #GISChat

A map of Castries in Saint Lucia. The map is in a circle, we can see roads, buildings, water bodies and green areas. The map is colorful.

All my ecology peeps slinging the GAM(M)s might find this paper interesting. I was surprised to learn there is a frequentist interpretation of GAM(M)s! (jk) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Bayesian views of generalized additive modelling

Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a frequently used, flexible framework applied to many problems in statistical ecology. They are commonly used to incorporate smooth effects into models via s...

I wrote a thing about using the gratia 📦 for #RStats, which makes working with #GAMs and the mgcv 📦 a little easier and, dare I say, prettier #mgcvchat #ggplot2

Some art to introduce my seminar next week about spatial models in forest ecosystems. Not everything is going to be formulae!

If you're looking for a gentle introduction to fit linear mixed models with R, with lots of examples, data & code available, here's one below. And not just another paper, just realized this one actually cites a Marvel’s comic book: cool-geek level unlocked :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

When do you need to collect more data? ... surprisingly, more data often has little value for decisions. Our new paper unravels why "Value of Information Analyses" can yield surprising results in #ecology doi.org/10.1111/2041... w @katehelmstedt.bsky.social in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social 🌍

3D plots showing how the value of information is often low and only high when an analytic condition is met. See the paper in link for a full description

Plots showing how the value of information depends on the number of actions and states, with more actions and states often leading to higher value of information. See the paper in the link for a full description
