Methods (model construction and statistical inference) allowing the investigation of questions mainly addressed in botanical epidemiology and ecology.
Topics of interest (corresponding publications indicated by numbers between brackets):
Spatio-temporal models describing pathogen and pest dynamics. Case-studies: rusts of wheat, powdery mildew of Plantago Lanceolata, European pine sawfly [5,10,11,r3,14,r5].
Mechanistic-statistical modelling which consists in combining a model for the dynamics under study (e.g. a pest dynamics) and a model for the observation process [5,11,14].
Modelling and estimation of propagule dispersal to learn about dispersal capacities of various organisms and infer processes which perturb the dispersal [3,6,8,10,12,r5].
Hidden processes (or latent processes) incorporated into models to handle unobserved environmental heterogeneity or to describe unobserved components of dynamics [1,3,4,7,8,9,11,14,r4].
Residual analysis to determine what is lacking in a model and to help in specifying more sophisticated models, especially models with hidden processes [1,4,r2].
Estimation methods without likelihood to estimate parameters of models for which writing and/or maximizing the likelihood is difficult, as it is the case for some models with spatial dependences and some hierarchical models [15].
Dealing with scale discrepancies to conciliate, in the construction of a model, the sampling and phenomenon scales and to deal with datasets collected at different resolutions [5,11,r2].
Describing aggregation of individuals and decomposing the complexity of aggregation to better understand settlement strategies [16,13].
