1. Multivariate climate change is expected to impact insect densities and plant growth in complex, and potentially different, ways. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a unique crop system where the increase in quality from chemical defences induced by …

Since I’ve been working so much with GAMs for this project, I decided to read sections of Simon Wood’s book, Generalized additive models: an introduction with R more thoroughly.

A major goal of my postdoc project is to determine whether drought has an effect on plant vital rates (growth, survival, reproduction, recruitment).
This is part of series about distributed lag non-linear models. Please read the first post for an introduction and a disclaimer. DLNMs themselves may not be that computationally expensive, but when combined with random effects and other smoothers, and a large-ish dataset, I’ve noticed gam() being painfully slow.

Welcome / Disclaimer This is the beginning of a series of blog posts where I publicly stumble my way through figuring out some confusing, complicated, and, frankly, cutting-edge modeling and statistics.
This is part of series about distributed lag non-linear models. Please read the first post for an introduction and a disclaimer. The dlnm package The dlnm package offers two ways of fitting crossbasis functions: an “internal” and an “external” method.
