The home-range concept: are traditional estimators still relevant with modern telemetry technology?
Recent advances in animal tracking and telemetry technology have allowed the collection of location data at an ever-increasing rate and accuracy, and these advances have been accompanied by the development of new methods of data analysis for portraying space use, home ranges and utilization distributions. New statistical approaches include data-intensive techniques such as kriging and nonlinear...
متن کاملA Geographic Information System Method for Estimating Home Range Size
\Ve developed a new technique to quantify home ranges by using coordinate-based data that were collected at srnall time intenals and entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS). We used this technique (digitized polygons [DP]) and 4 other established methods to estimate home range sizes of groups of black howler monkeys (Alorrana pigra). \Ve calculated the size of the area used by the st...
متن کاملSample size for multiple regression: obtaining regression coefficients that are accurate, not simply significant.
An approach to sample size planning for multiple regression is presented that emphasizes accuracy in parameter estimation (AIPE). The AIPE approach yields precise estimates of population parameters by providing necessary sample sizes in order for the likely widths of confidence intervals to be sufficiently narrow. One AIPE method yields a sample size such that the expected width of the confiden...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Home-range Size of Female Florida Black Bears
The manner in which space is utilized by animals is influenced by several factors, including habitat quality and the distribution and abundance of resources. We used 4 years (2000–2003) of radiotelemetry data to investigate the space-use pattern of female Florida black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the Ocala National Forest and an adjacent residential community of Lynne, north-central ...
متن کاملKernels Evaluation of Svm-based Estimators for Inverse Scattering Problems
Buried object detection by means of microwave-based sensing techniques is faced in biomedical imaging, mine detection, and many other practical tasks. Whereas conventional methods used for such a problem consist in solving nonlinear integral equations, this article considers a recently proposed learning by examples approach [1] based on Support Vector Machines, the techniques that proved to be ...
