Quadrat Sampling in Population Ecology
Background Estimating the abundance of organisms. Ecology is often referred to as the "study of distribution and abundance". This being true, we would often like to know how many of a certain organism are in a certain place, or at a certain time. Information on the abundance of an organism, or group of organisms is fundamental to most questions in ecology. However, we can rarely do a complete c...
متن کاملEstimating species richness from quadrat sampling data: a general approach.
We consider the problem of estimating the number of species (denoted by S) of a biological community located in a region divided into n quadrats. To address this question, different hierarchical parametric approaches have been recently developed. Despite a detailed modeling of the underlying biological processes, they all have some limitations. Indeed, some assume that n is theoretically infini...
متن کاملProviding A Model for Management Earnings Forecast Bias
Despite The Important Role That Management Profit Forecasting Plays In The Decision Making Of Capital Market Actors, These Predictions Appear To Be Biased. In The Attempt To Measure The Bias Of Predicting Profit Management, Numerous One- Dimensional Measurement Tools Have Been Proposed In The Accounting And Finance Literature. Despite These Efforts, No Comprehensive Composite Index Has Been Dev...
متن کاملAggressive Visibility Pre-processing with Adaptive Sampling
Abstract. At the expense of a small error in visibility classification, we remove all invisible polygons. Thresholding and heuristics allows fine control over the behaviour of this error. Our technique is applicable to both concave and convex polygons. It exhibits sublinear computational complexity in the number of scene polygons and logarithmic complexity in the number of cells, while effectiv...
متن کاملSampling Visibility in Three-Space
We present a visibility algorithm that is based on sampling the scene for visible surfaces. The subset of lines for which the visibility is pre-calculated is defined by a two-plane parameterization. Each sample represents the portion of geometry that is visible for the lines through that sample’s region. Lumping geometry together in grid cells allows achieving visibility at a coarser level, and...
