Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a new approach to deal with vertical migration of wild animals using a combination of state-space model and mixture model. This approach enables us to know what factor affects the migration pattern of wild animals. Simulation tests showed that the model could provide accurate estimation of parameters of interest. However, for the applied study using the real migration data, the general trend of migration patterns on whole population was vague due to great difference in individual migration patterns.
