Bayesian Modeling for Field Experiments: from Agriculture to Zoology

This talk will detail a Bayesian approach for analyzing field experiments which includes modeling of spatial fertility gradients. In addition to outlining basic modeling strategies and methodology, the talk will focus on two examples: the first is a series of corn trials carried out by the state of North Carolina; the second is an experiment from population genetics carried out by researchers from the Zoology Department at Duke University.
