Congrats to Drew!
Sea Grant has announced its John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship finalists and our very own Drew is among them! Congrats! Also, if you look closely, I’m pretty sure that […]
Oyster drills are infamous
I was recently out in San Francisco Bay finishing up our citizen-science based oyster drill eradication project. We were fortunate to have the SF Chronicle feature an article about our […]
Oceanography data with ‘OCE’ in R
Oceanographers love two things. 1. Expensive equipment and 2. Matlab. I get the first one. I mean, who wouldn’t want to play with titantium 4km pressure rated CTDs or autonomous […]
Our paper was subject of a news cartoon. Life is now complete.
Our recent atmospheric river paper was the subject of a cartoon and accompanying article in the Marin Independent. Life is now complete! That is all. Please carry on.
Modeling completely separated data in R
Complete separation occurs when data is perfectly discriminated by a predictor. Let me illustrate (literally, haha). You’ll notice that the y-axis is binary, there are only 0s and 1s. That’s […]
Logistic Regression in R
My dog pants a lot. Don’t judge him. He’s brachycephalic (shorter skull/muzzle than other dogs), so he has issues thermoregulating. But he doesn’t always pant. Let me illustrate. Panting! Not […]
Spatial data using ‘raster’ in R
There’s a lot of freely available data out there. Much of this data is spatial and derived from remote sensing platforms (e.g. satellites). Here’s a quick primer on using the […]
Stacked time series in R
Stacked time series plots are cool. Vastly superior to double y-axis plots which are a big no no according to graph theory. Exhibit A and Exhibit B. If Hadley Wickham […]
Coastal oysters?
Lately, I’ve been doing meta-analysis for my postdoc, working with NO live animals, so I’m excited to see living animals from the ocean. When I’m not in Maryland, I’m in […]
converting wide to long format in R
I’ve heard California is parched. Though, I wouldn’t know. I’m in Maryland now and we’re staring at Hurricane Joaquin who was threatening to wash the east coast into the Atlantic […]
