Abstract
One of the most fundamental challenges in ecology is inferring the dynamic processes behind an observed spatial pattern. Typically this challenge is characterized by the short-term observation of a pattern that was generated by long-term, continuous processes. Within the framework of linking process to pattern, this study examines the poorly-understood epidemiology of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white-tailed deer in Wisconsin by estimating the rate parameters (age and time of disease conversion) from prevalence (number of infected individuals) data. It further illustrates a very general framework for analyzing ecological event time data using Bayesian hazard models.
