Fly, Eagles Fly: Archetype Analysis of eagle migration patterns using Bayesian Methods

Abraham Arbelaez

The main research question was whether covariates could be a big factor on birds’ migration routes. This exploration was possible through an archetype analysis, which is a statistical nonparametric approach that represents each individual as a mixture of multiple estimated archetypes. We developed a new approach where covariates are considered, in order to be fitted using Bayesian methods and MCMC. This showcases a new proposal for such databases and optimizes processes in ecological research.
