Invited talk at BNP14

I gave an invited talk at the 14ths Bayesian Nonparametric Conference, which took place at UCLA, June 23-27th, 2025

I presented work that I have done over the last decade with collaborators (see below for links to papers) on BNP methods for ecological data, and especially in modelling phenological patterns of populations using capture-recapture, count and batch-mark data.

Papers covered in the talk

With Ioannis Rotous and Alex Diana: A Polya-Tree modelling framework for batch-mark data

With Raffaele Argiento: Capture-Recapture Models with Heterogeneous Temporary Emigration

With Alex Diana, Jim Griffin and others: A general modeling framework for open wildlife populations based on the Polya tree prior and A HIERARCHICAL DEPENDENT DIRICHLET PROCESS PRIOR FOR MODELLING BIRD MIGRATION PATTERNS IN THE UK

With Francois Caron: Modelling individual migration patterns using a Bayesian nonparametric approach for capture–recapture data
