MIXING IT UP: NEW METHODS FOR FINITE MIXTURE MODELLING OF MULTI-SPECIES DATA IN ECOLOGY
2015
Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society
In this thesis, new methods are proposed for using finite mixture models to analyse multi-species data in ecology. Developments range from theoretical results to empirical studies, offering contributions to the literatures of finite mixture models, species distribution models, variable selection, cluster analysis and ordination. To begin, a comparison on several real datasets demonstrates that mixture models offer better predictions of how species communities respond to the environment,
