Scope:

I was hired by Spectacled Bear Conservation, an NGO dedicated to the conservation of the Andean bear, to provide data analysis on a vulnerable bear population in Northern Peru.

Methods

This is a complex project that leverage the power and flexibility of R programming language for data cleansing, visualization and analysis.
Some highlights were:
Studying animal health over time by using complex models and analyses, such as ordinal mixed-effects regressions
Developing an algorithm for peak-trough detection based on Loess smoothing.
Using my expertise as a biologist and researcher to contextualize results effectively.

Results / Deliverables

A research paper in an international journal [currently being finished]
Data insights applicable to bear conservation efforts.
Improved quality of the client's datasets.
