Status for May 2

What have I worked on?

  • voleIdeas: put pen to paper on some vole-parasite ideas

  • annaSDM: code almost done running, but hitting lots of file location errors.

  • persistTime: starting to play around with Aland data to look at persistence times. Distros are fit, but now I need to assemble the networks with the weird negative exponential dispersal link distance.

  • logistics: booking travel for upcoming BES macroecology conference, and trip to Manchester in mid June.

  • hmscMouse: single species models still running. Weird segfault issues that I can’t seem to diagnose. It has to be that there’s NA, NaN, or Inf getting caught up in something, but I can’t trace it. Annoying. I think it might be during k-fold cross-validation, if the subset data contain a response with no variation (all absences in an SDM sense) this could create an issue through calculation of variance or standardizing by variance leading to divide by 0 errors.

Tonight

  • groceries: MORE KALE!!!

  • easton: Skype with Easton in prep for his postdoc interview

  • read

  • wosFail: make some edits and reach out to Alyssa about submission.

What should I be working on now?

  • annaSDM: finish this up! Meeting on Friday.

  • persistTime: ask Torsti or Aapo about negative exponential link estimation.

  • voleIdeas: polish it up and send to Otso for preliminary feedback.
