PC-ORD Version 7 Multivariate Analysis of Ecological Data
Software for multivariate statistical analysis of ecological communities. Includes cluster analysis, ordination, 3D graphics, and species diversity.
Demo video Version 7 (maximize YouTube window for readability)
HyperNiche Version 2 Multiplicative Habitat Modeling
Software for habitat modeling and nonparametric regression where the predictors are combined multiplicatively (NPMR) rather than additively. Includes cross-validation, 3D graphics, and GIS input/output.
Demo video (maximize YouTube window for readability).
Journal article on NPMR
Applications outside of ecology: an interesting application of NPMR to neuroscience.
