Jay M. Ver Hoef

I am recently retired from the US Federal Government, where I was a senior scientist and statistician for the Marine Mammal Lab, part of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center of NOAA Fisheries, U.S. Dept. of Commerce. I worked for a U.S. Government research lab where I developed statistical methods and consulted on a wide variety of topics related to marine mammals and stream networks. The Marine Mammal Lab is located in Seattle, Washington, although I live in Fairbanks, Alaska.  My main statistical interests are in spatial statistics and Bayesian statistics, especially applied to ecological and environmental data.
