Abstract

Spatio-temporal smoothing of large ecological datasets describing species distributions can be made challenging by high computational costs and deficiencies in the available data. We present an application of a GAM-based smoothing method to a large ordinal categorical dataset on the distribution of wildebeest in the Serengeti ecosystem.
