Ecological inference : new methodological strategies / edited

For longitudinal data, mixed models include random subject effects to indicate how subjects influence their responses over repeated assessments. The error variance and the variance of the random effects are usually considered to be homogeneous. These variance terms characterize the within-subjects (i.e., error variance) and between-subjects (i.e., random-effects variance) variation in the data....

the ecological footprint is a useful tool that we can use it to inform the public about the pressure on ecology and the environment. also, by measuring it, policymakers can design and implement the necessary programs to help reduce that pressure. in order to measure the potential impact of future activities and policies of development programs on the environment, it is necessary to study the sh...

forest ecosystems that have spent a long time to mature, offer important goods and services to humanity. hence, utilization and exploitation of these resources should be based on careful assessment of their ecological value and potential. ecological land evaluation is an approach based on land quality, vulnerability and potential assessment for different acceptable uses drawing upon related mod...
