Research Interests

My research interests are in the development and application of statistical modelling techniques to non-standard situations in Ecology and Environmental Science. The Statistical topics I am particularly interested in are mixture models, functional relationship models, multinomial models, mixed models, methods for modelling data with large numbers of missing or zero values, methods for predicting the mean response without bias from non-linear models and bootstrapping methods for assessing predictions from non-linear models. The Ecological and Environmental topics I am currently working on are climate change, biodiversity in grassland systems, competition in a range of ecological systems, and genotypic variability in allergenic plant species.
