STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

2025

App Development Seminar (ESCI 599)

An online Shiny application that displays a map and information about urban wildlife in the city of Bellingham. Created using Shiny and RStudio.

Machine Learning Seminar (ESCI 599)

A simple regression tree showing the relationship between plant growth, temperature, and soil water content. Created for a project in Machine Learning in February 2025. Created using RStudio.

2024

Data Visualization Seminar (ESCI 599)

A chart showing how individual wolves differ in their ambush hunting strategies against beavers. Created for a project in Data Visualization in December 2024. Created using RStudio.

A chart showing the difference between the wettest and driest climate divisions in each U.S. state. Created for a project in Data Visualization in October 2024. Created using RStudio.

Spatial Analysis in Environmental Science (ESCI 505)

An interpolated precipitation surface I created. I used a dataset of roughly 400 points and applied universal kriging to create this surface, and I then checked the skill of the model using k-fold cross-validation. Note that this is a screenshot of an interactive map, and is not itself interactive. Created for a project in Spatial Analysis in May 2024. Created using RStudio.

A detailed map of the Mt. Baker Ski Area. Created for a project in Spatial Analysis in April 2024. Created using RStudio.

Multivariate Methods in Environmental Science (ESCI 503)

An analysis of the environmental conditions associated with various spider species. The analysis used hierarchical clustering to determine clusters in the data, nMDS to ordinate the data, and then fitted environmental variables onto the ordination plot as vectors. Created for a project in Multivariate Methods in March 2024. Created using RStudio.

Several maps that show differences in the type of protein sources consumed in Europe in 1973. Created for a project in Multivariate Methods in February 2024. Created using RStudio.

2023

Applied Statistics in Environmental Science (ESCI 502)

A plot showing the relationship between amphibian roadkill and distance from the nearest national park. The solid red line is a generalized linear regression line, while the dotted red lines are confidence intervals. Created for a project in Applied Statistics in December 2023. Created using RStudio.

Plots showing bug species richness as a function of precipitation, temperature, and site. Created for a project in Applied Statistics in November 2023. Created using RStudio.
