Habitat Risk Software
August 17, 2023
The Habitat Risk Software leverages a previously published Bayesian hierarchical model framework (Clayton and Kaldor 1987; Banderjee et al. 2004; Gelman et al. 2004; Evans et al. 2016) with opportunistic (hunter-harvest) wildlife surveillance disease testing data and publicly available geospatial (raster) data to estimate the geographical risk that a hunter will harvest a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) that tests positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in a small “study area” portion of the state.
