Cole Monnahan contributed to the NOAA-FIMS/case-studies repository by developing and refining analytical workflows for fisheries stock assessment models over a three-month period. He integrated weights-at-age data and modularized the Pollock case study to align with FIMS v0.3.0.0, using R and TMB to enhance model structure and reproducibility. Cole expanded the documentation with advanced Bayesian inference and likelihood profiling, leveraging Quarto for clarity and extensibility. He also implemented advanced model evaluation tools, including conditional AIC calculation and effective degrees of freedom visualization, which improved model selection and interpretability. His work demonstrated depth in statistical modeling and reproducible research.
