Clawson Statistical Services LLC

Clawson Statistical Services LLC is a sole proprietorship and limited liability company registered to receive federal awards since June 2022. The company specializes in providing advanced statistical analysis and modeling services related to wildlife management, with a particular focus on bird species and their interactions with airport and military base environments. Through federal grant awards, Clawson Statistical Services LLC offers expertise in analyzing radar data, developing predictive models, and providing insights into avian behavior and movements that are crucial for aviation safety and wildlife management strategies. The company's work directly impacts airport and military base operations by contributing to the understanding and mitigation of wildlife hazards in these environments.

As a prime recipient, Clawson Statistical Services LLC was awarded a cooperative agreement by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to study the survival, movements, and space use of three raptor species near airports using satellite telemetry. This project aims to enhance understanding of raptor ecology and improve wildlife hazard management at airports across the United States. The company has also been involved in sub-grant awards under the University of Montana, providing specialized services for two Air Force bases. At Ellsworth Air Force Base, they analyzed radar data to identify bird species, developed 3D models of bird use over the airfield, and assessed bird activity in adjacent areas, with a focus on raptors and migratory waterfowl. Similarly, for Offutt Air Force Base, they performed analyses on historical and recent radar data, concentrating on waterfowl and wetland bird species. In both sub-award projects, Clawson Statistical Services LLC applied advanced analytical techniques such as CART analysis, regression tree analysis, trivariate kernel modeling, and discrete choice modeling to develop comprehensive reports and database management tools for complex datasets. These projects demonstrate the company's capability to provide critical insights for wildlife management in aviation contexts, supporting both civilian and military operations.
