Modelling ecological data using classification and regression tree technique (CART)

Year 2012, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 1 - 4, 06.04.2012

Abstract

Nonparametric methods have been increasingly used in order to model the distribution of target species in the forest ecosystems by means of environmental factors in recent years. One of the nonparametric methods is classification and regression tree tecnique (CART). By using CART, both categorical and continuous dependent variables can be modeled. That is why CART is a suitable tecnique for the distribution, productivity and diversity models of animal and plant species. This review was written to give information about CART.

Sınıflandırma ve regresyon ağacı tekniği (SRAT) ile ekolojik verinin modellenmesi

Year 2012, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 1 - 4, 06.04.2012

Abstract

Orman ekosistemlerinde hedef türlerin yetişme ortamı özelliklerine göre modellenmesi ile ilgili parametrik olmayan yöntemlerin kullanımı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Parametrik olmayan yöntemlerden biride sınıflandırma ve regresyon ağacı tekniğidir (SRAT). Bu yöntem kullanılarak hem kategorik (sınıflandırma ağacı) hem de sürekli (regresyon ağacı) bağımlı değişkenler modellenebilmektedir. Bundan dolayı SRAT hayvan ve bitki türlerinin dağılım modellemeleri için ideal bir yöntemdir. Bu derlemede SRAT hakkında bilgi vermek amaçlanmıştır.
