That said, it seems that the choice of plot size when conducting deer exclusion experiments has little effect on plant community response; none of the community indices evaluated here were related to plot size.
This permits greater flexibility in the choice of ground plots, with greater emphasis on achieving a good range of auxiliary variables as opposed to that which results from a purely random selection.
Despite the potential of improving the efficiency of ALS-assisted inventories by use of larger plots, choice of an "optimal" plot size must be seen in a broader context by considering a number of factors including; sample sizes, on-plot costs, traveling costs and overall field inventory design.
ROC plots also allow comparison of the performance of several tests independently of choice of threshold, by plotting data sets for multiple tests in the same ROC space.
For this choice of phase, we plot the expected quantum and classical interference patterns in Figure 7.
By contrast, household resources such as extent of livestock owned, value of non-farm income, and area planted to cotton affect the adoption choices of male plot managers.
Mitochondrial markers have been the locus of choice in skyline-plot analyses of animal populations [ 94- 97].
A popular and adequate choice are plots of the CIFs, which should, in particular, be plotted for all event types, if all competing risks are harmful.
The choice of these temporarily ungrazed plots should take into account not only the biodiversity 'potential' of each plot, but also their location, so that they can act as dispersal sources or ecological corridors (Öckinger and Smith, 2007).
We further tested the adequacy of model choice by plotting the residuals against the linear predictors.
While each plot condenses information from at least 9 SPECT images (three animals, three time points) or even from ≈500 (all animals, all time points as in Fig. 3a), the subdivision into tissues and compounds, and the choice of parameters and various plot types resulted again in an expansion, here to >1000 plots.
