Fraser Lewis talks about testing new methods to compare non-nested statistical models using tick questing data from the Scottish Highlands.

Fraser demonstrates that the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) may be applied to non-nested models by comparison of competing models, through comparison of simulated data sets.
