Data used in the paper "A Simple and Robust Approach to Bayesian Modelling of Overdispersed Data" (Environmental and Ecological Statistics, in press as of June 2023).
Blackgrouse Example (Section 3.1) This example involves annual counts of male blackgrouse cocks (Tetrao tetrix) in the high eastern region of Belgium, given in Table 1 of Lindsey, J (1999) Response surfaces for overdispersion in the study of the conditions for fish eggs hatching. Biometrics 55(1):149โ155
Flamingo Survival Example (Section 3.2) The second example comes from a mark-recapture study to estimate annual adult survival probabilities for a population of The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) in the Camargue region of southern France, and have also been analysed by Lebreton, J-D et al. (1992) Modeling survival and testing biological hypotheses using marked animals: a unified approach with case studies. Ecological Monographs 62(1):67โ118
