Hello
I just registered on the list.
I am an agricultural technician and I am collaborating on a research
project on agroforestry and Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha
halys, abbreviated BMSB).
The project will also address, at least as a draft (it is a very
difficult topic), the modeling of the movements of the BMSB and its
parasitoids.
I am trying to activate an ongoing collaboration with a group of
computer scientists I know.
However for now, to approach the R mailing lists, I have a question
that I would like to post on r-help, but unfortunately there is an
error in the subscription.
I think this mailing list could also be included.
Through kobotoolbox we are collecting data of catches in traps on
farms. Farms register inconsistently.
I am trying to use packages for irregular time series, but I cannot
figure out how to sum the weekly data correctly.
To give an example: if a farmer enters the data on Thursday and Tuesday
of the following week, on Tuesday in the trap he will find individuals
who were also captured on Friday and Saturday, which formally are to be
considered in the previous week. I know it's trivial, but maybe there
is an appropriate statistical method inside some package.
Thank you
