Wall to floor ratio and the number of basements were identified as the model predictors with a model fit of 48.1% (R2).
Redesign of the temporal models using the average model predictors as constants gave three 'hybrid' models that used both spatial and temporal variables.
We present a novel approach for optimizing tree-ring based reconstructions in small watersheds in temperate environments, combining winter snow depth and summer drought sensitive proxies as model predictors.
In addition, statistical growth models at monthly resolution were used to understand how projected outcome (increased or decreased growth comparing baseline with 2080s climate) might be sensitive to choice of model predictors.
Statistical partitioning of contrasting species response – focussed on species identify, choice of model predictors and location – provides structured recommendations for the future development of biologically-realistic and downscaled growth models.
The model predictors were related to (i) the distance separating the patches, (ii) the characteristics of the landscape between the patches and (iii) the characteristics of the departure and arrival patches, including the number of individuals marked in each patch.
The visualizations (Figure 3) show that the variation unexplained by the fixed model predictors is very large, both among stands and among seedlings within a stand.
In addition to the cost analysis, based on a binary logistic regression model, predictors for probability of inpatient hospital treatment were identified.
Consequently, this limited the ability of the variable to form part of the logit model predictors, hence its omission from the analysis.
We used linear mixed-effects models to assess longitudinal variation in fatigue scores and generalized estimating equations for binary outcomes to model predictors of fatigue remission among those fatigued at baseline.
In the multivariable regression model, predictors of graft failure at 1 year were donor age, recipient age, recipient creatinine greater than 2 mg/dL, and the requirement for mechanical ventilation for the recipient.
