| PEcAn (Predictive Ecosystem Analyzer) Useful tool for simplifying ecosystem model parameterization and assessment. More technically, PEcAn is a workflow for doing Bayesian metaanalyses for trait parameterization in models. It queries a trait database, assigns prior probabilities to traits, runs a Bayesian hierarchical metaanalysis, derives joint posterior distributions for traits, then uses those traits to parameterize and run an ecosystem model (currently ED 2.2). |
