Bayesian Modeling of the Rocky Mountain National Park Elk Population
Hobbs NT and Hoeting JA. 2010. Bayesian Modeling of the Rocky Mountain National Park Elk Population. Colorado State University
This report covers three areas of work completed during 2009-2010. During this reporting period, we developed a new data model to accommodate uncertainty in the estimation of population size in a single census as well as the uncertainty that arises from differences among censuses conducted on different dates. We examined the differences in classification data obtained on the ground and from the air. We updated model estimates and forecasts for abundance of elk on the winter range.
