From the bottom of the heap. Opportunities to join The Lab. Currently there are no open positions in the lab, but I’m always interested in talking with potential graduate students or postdoctoral fellows about opportunities for funding and research ideas, so do please get in touch.

From the bottom of the heap. R scripts for DPER volume 5 data handling methods and numerical techniques. I wrote or co-wrote 3 chapters in the recently-released 5th volume in the Developments in Palaeoenvironmental Research series. Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments: Data Handling Methods and Numerical Techniques. Statictical Learning in Palaeolimnology (Chapter 9; with John Birks),. Analogue Methods in Palaeolimnology (Chapter 15), and. Statistical Learning in Palaeolimnology.

Statistical Learning in Palaeolimnology
http://www.fromthebottomoftheheap.net/code/dper-scripts/chapter-9-statistical-learning.html
From the bottom of the heap. Statistical Learning in Palaeolimnology R script for examples. Whilst I’m preparing an annotated set of scripts for the Statistical Learning chapter of DPER5, you can access the updated R code used for the chapter via my dper5. The following scripts cover the examples from the chapter. Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). Shrinkage methods in regression (ridge, LASSO, elastic net). Script requires the development version of my analogue. Andrew Barr's Ancient Eco.

Members of the lab
http://www.fromthebottomoftheheap.net/lab/members
From the bottom of the heap. Members of the lab. Current members of the lab are:. Dr Emma Wiik (Postdoctoral Fellow). Emma joined the lab in March 2015 and is a joint appointment between my lab and Peter Leavitt’s Limnology Laboratory at the University of Regina. Emma’s research in the lab focuses on the the effects of climate variability on pairie lakes, with both palaeo- and neo-limnology aspects. Brittany Hesjedal (MSc Candidate).

cocorresp
http://www.fromthebottomoftheheap.net/code/r-packages/cocorresp.html
From the bottom of the heap. Cocorresp an R implementation of co-correspondence analysis. CoCA’s response model is the same as that of correspondence analysis (CA) and hence is particularly suited to species abundance data. Symmetric CoCA is closely related to the technique of coinertia analysis, whilst predictive CoCA employs partial least squares to handle the case of a large number of predictor variables. Aim to emulate vegan. Functions but for CoCA ordinations. Bugs, feature requests.

The new Tri-agency open access policy
http://www.fromthebottomoftheheap.net/2015/07/10/tri-agency-open-access-policy
From the bottom of the heap. ESA's publishing deal with Wiley. My aversion to pipes. The new Tri-agency open access policy. In the main, the Tri-Agency policy on open access. Is pretty simple and to be fair to the Tri-Agencies, they have done a good job of providing information and FAQs. But first, a summary of what the policy actually requires:. Within 12 month of publication the peer-reviewed, final author-version of the manuscript. Research grant funding from one of the Tri-Agencies awarded May 1st 20...
