The overall model fit for model 1 was also acceptable, as indicated by the absolute fit and incremental fit indices (Table 6).
The regional seasonal temperature indices (TR) accounted for <5% of frost timing variance after linearly removing the effects of the circulation indices (numbers in parentheses, Table 1), which is consistent with the TR indices being correlated with the circulation indices (Table 1).
Seven spectral indices (Table 2) were calculated using the different spectral band combinations.
The selected indices (Table 2) describe cold and warm as well as wet and dry extremes.
Once converted, the various vegetation indices (Table 1) were calculated from the reflectance and applied to the extent of the images.
Spearman rank correlation showed that most physico-chemical variables were strongly related (p < 0.05) to macroinvertebrate and diatom community metrics and diversity indices (Table 3).
Volume responsiveness can be detected with various ECHO indices (Table 3), but this assessment must be tailored to the clinical setting.
Adequate number of clones for each sample was processed, in terms of the percent coverage and rarefaction indices (Table 2), to reflect the AMF diversity.
We explore all possible relationships among all available variables of latitude, forest structural and functional attributes, and biodiversity indices (Table 2).
Consequently, the four single, as well as the four matched, Q matrix models were evaluated by using the DINA model for selecting the best fitting model, by using a diverse set of fit indices (Table 4).
We further performed confirmatory factor analysis to validate the stress measures' convergent validity and discriminant validity and obtained modest fit indices (Table 2), χ 2 (13, N = 841) = 116.39, p <.001, CFI = .92, NNFI = .87 (Bentler and Bonett, 1980).
