Bias in community-weighted mean analysis relating species attributes to sample attributes: justification and remedy
نویسنده
چکیده
12 One way to analyze the relationship between species attributes (e.g. functional traits) and sample 13 attributes (e.g. environmental variables) via the matrix of species composition is by calculating 14 the community-weighted mean of species attributes (CWM) and relating it to sample attributes 15 by correlation, regression, ANOVA etc. This weighted-mean approach is used in a number of 16 ecological fields (e.g. functional and vegetation ecology, biogeography, hydrobiology or 17 paleolimnology), and represents an alternative to other methods used to relate species and sample 18 attributes via the species composition matrix such as the fourth-corner approach. 19 .

A Framework for Optimal Attribute Evaluation and Selection in Hesitant Fuzzy Environment Based on Enhanced Ordered Weighted Entropy Approach for Medical Dataset
Background: In this paper, a generic hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) model for clustering various ECG beats according to weights of attributes is proposed. A comprehensive review of the electrocardiogram signal classification and segmentation methodologies indicates that algorithms which are able to effectively handle the nonstationary and uncertainty of the signals should be used for ECG analysis. Ex...

Conventional soil survey methods for soils within the watersheds in Iran require a significant budget with many soil surveyors and much time. Additionally, no accurate and reliable information exists on the spatial variability of superface soil parameters in order to predict the soil loss by different models (RUSLE, PISAC, EUPOSEM, MORGAN). Also information on planning and management activities...

متن کاملSpatial variability and estimation of tree attributes in a plantation forest in the Caspian region of Iran using geostatistical analysis
This research was conducted to investigate spatial variability and estimate tree attributes in a plantation forest in the Caspian region of Iran using geostatistical analysis. Sampling was performed based on a 50m?125m systematic grid in a maple stand (Acer velutinum Boiss) 18 years of age using circular samples of 200m2 area. Totally, 96 sample plots were measured in 63 hectares and 14.25 he...
