Highlight

I write easy-to-use software alongside my research, so that the methods can be picked up by scientists in my field and beyond. All software and tutorials I developed are accessible on this page.

Interactive tools

Hubbell GLM Atlas

DNA barcode-based arthropod composition across 1,346 passive-sampling monitoring sites from the Global Malaise Trap Program. Click a site to explore order composition, seasonal phenology, rarefaction and site-exclusive BINs.

Open the atlas

R packages

SignaturePPF

Poisson process factorization for mutational signature analysis. Models where mutations fall along the genome, not just how many, letting signature activity vary with genomic covariates.

GitHub Tutorial

HubbellGLM

Hubbell regression for predicting biodiversity at unsampled locations, producing predicted species richness and accumulation curves for new sites from environmental covariates.

Website

BayesANT

BAYESiAn Nonparametric Taxonomic classifier. A DNA barcoding algorithm that classifies sequences within a hierarchical taxonomy while allowing novel species to be discovered in the test set.

GitHub Tutorial

BNPvegan

Bayesian nonparametric methods for ecologists: species discovery, accumulation curves and estimates of how much diversity a sample has missed.

GitHub Tutorial

ConjugateDP

Random number generator for the Stirling-gamma distribution, the conjugate prior for the Dirichlet process precision parameter.

GitHub

CompressiveNMF

Compressive Bayesian non-negative matrix factorization for mutational signature analysis, with a prior that shrinks away spurious signatures.
