Predicting Plant Species Distribution Across an Alpine
5 Predictive models constitute an important tool in ecology. Using presence/absence data of 6 15 plant species of an alpine rangeland in northern Spain, and a set of 14 topographical and 7 geomorphological descriptors of relatively easy acquisition, we examined and compared the 8 performance of five state-of-the-art methods used in ecological modeling: Multiple Logistic 9 Regression (MLR), Arti...
متن کاملReconsidering Himalayan river anticlines
The observation that major Himalayan rivers flow parallel to and down the axis of anticlines oriented transverse to the primary structural grain of the range has puzzled geomorphologists for decades. Although there is a general consensus that the courses of trans-Himalayan rivers predate the Himalayan orogeny, the close association of rivers and structural highs would not be expected to result ...
متن کاملSkew-t distribution is an appropriate alternative for the weighted exponential distribution
In this manuscript first a brief introduction to the Skew-t and Weighted exponential distributions is considered and some of their important properties will be studied. Then we will show that the Skew-t distribution is prefered to the Weighted exponential distribution in fitting by using the real data. Finally we will prove our claim by using the simulation method.
متن کاملFast Primitive Distribution for Illustration
In this paper we present a high-quality, image-space approach to illustration that preserves continuous tone by probabilistically distributing primitives while maintaining interactive rates. Our method allows for frame-to-frame coherence by matching movements of primitives with changes in the input image. It can be used to create a variety of drawing styles by varying the primitive type or dire...
متن کاملEthnographic Methods to Study Context: An Illustration
The ability to reflect contextual factors is crucial to the success of computerized support systems. Consequently, identifying how context affects the supported processes is a prerequisite for developing such systems, and ethnographic studies can play an important role in shaping system design. We are developing methods for supporting distributed collaborative troubleshooting by aiding the tran...
