Bayesian, frequentist and statistical learning perspectives on penalising model complexity

In regression analysis, a common problem is to decide on the right functional form of the fitted model. On the one hand, we would like to make the model as flexible as possible so that it can adjust itself bias-free to the true data-generating process. On the other hand, the more freedom we give the…

Collinearity and what’s on the horizon for macroecology

Two papers that just appeared in press at Ecography caught my attention, a review about methods to deal with collinearity lead by Carsten Dormann (looks like the sequel to his autocorrelation paper in the same journal), and a “horizon scan” for macroecology by Jan Beck and colleagues. I guess the issue of collinearity is pretty…
