I'll go one step further: when a model is only written as code, the model people think they fit is often not the model that they actually fit. Do yourself a favor and use math to make sure that you fit the model that you want!

I include this paper on at least half of my reviews. It is important to explain your math, not just say what R functions you used. Functions change over time, or get deprecated, "whereas properly documented equations will stand the test of time." https://t

@missradders You may wish to check out these style guides. Some are over the top, and some are internally inconsistent, but if this is what the text books are meant to follow, could be good to start there: https://t.co/BoWl641kqu https://t.co/2FeUaf6HWG

Yes this is a great resource! A must-read for ecology grad students who are writing up results using mathematical notation. Having standardized notation makes such a difference.

@mark_scheuerell @alexpghayes @eeholm It makes me think of this recent paper in MEE that lays out some good style recs for journal articles. Something similar for code / packages would be great! https://t.co/P1Jy6Ts5mM

@polesasunder @smwindecker @MethodsEcolEvol That paper is: https://t.co/Gl0AYYIh3J but whilst it has a section on "use equations not code" it doesn't really address this specific issue as most people probably aren't optimising a likelihood by hand.
