Comparison of Programs for Fixed Kernel Home Range Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a bewildering array of methods for estimating animal home ranges, including minimum convex polygons, bivariate ellipses, adaptive and fixed kernels, and even a Brownian bridge technique (Bullard 1991; Kernohan et al. 2001). Many people believe that the fixed kernel method using least-squares cross validation (LSCV) is the best approach currently available (Seaman and Powell 1996; Powell 2000; Kernohan et al. 2001).

Likelihood Cross-Validation Versus Least Squares Cross- Validation for Choosing the Smoothing Parameter in Kernel Home-Range Analysis
Fixed kernel density analysis with least squares cross-validation (LSCVh) choice of the smoothing parameter is currently recommended for home-range estimation. However, LSCVh has several drawbacks, including high variability, a tendency to undersmooth data, and multiple local minima in the LSCVh function. An alternative to LSCVh is likelihood cross-validation (CVh). We used computer simulations...
متن کاملAIOSC: Analytical Integer Word-length Optimization based on System Characteristics for Recursive Fixed-point LTI Systems
The integer word-length optimization known as range analysis (RA) of the fixed-point designs is a challenging problem in high level synthesis and optimization of linear-time-invariant (LTI) systems. The analysis has significant effects on the resource usage, accuracy and efficiency of the final implementation, as well as the optimization time. Conventional methods in recursive LTI systems suffe...

This work is devoted to the study of global solution for initial value problem of interval fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative without singular kernel admitting only the existence of a lower solution or an upper solution. Our method is based on fixed point in partially ordered sets. In this study, we guaranty the existence of special kind of ...
متن کاملStandardising Home Range Studies for Improved Management of the Critically Endangered Black Rhinoceros.
Comparisons of recent estimations of home range sizes for the critically endangered black rhinoceros in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HiP), South Africa, with historical estimates led reports of a substantial (54%) increase, attributed to over-stocking and habitat deterioration that has far-reaching implications for rhino conservation. Other reports, however, suggest the increase is more likely an ar...

Confectionery sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the valuable crops which less is known about its variability. Fifty sunflower populations have been gathered from different regions of Iran and evaluated for agro-morphological traits in completely randomized design with 10 repetitions under pot conditions. The twenty traits including days from planting to flowering, days from planti...
