Together with their two teen-age sons, Christopher and David, the Mertens "live in a statistical land above the lowly welfare poor but far beneath the exalted rich," and they have a life, Sheehan argues, which is "representative of what has happened to the working poor of their generation".
They applied statistical land cover information from the test region and demonstrated that NDVI was a reasonable indicator of the percentage vegetation cover.
The deductive component of our study is performed through spatial data analysis that evaluates successive land cover maps in order to derive transition maps, cross-tabulation matrices, and statistical land pattern indices that measure and qualify directions and patterns of change.
We aimed to combine a statistical land-abandonment model with a forest dynamics model, to take into account the combined effects of climate and human land-use on the Alpine tree-line in Switzerland.
Governments increasingly provide free access to various types of geospatial data, typically statistical data, land use and land cover data, topographic data, among others, as they realize its potential to foster economic, social and environmental opportunities.
The data used for the social classification are education, occupation, household dimension, income (Iran statistical center 2005), land value (land price map, Babaiaghdam 2007), building type and property sizes (GIS-based map, Municipality of Tabriz 2012, and informal settlement map (Zista Consulting Engineers 2005).
In order of decreasing strength of statistical relationship, soil depth, land use and season were all related to some aspects of soil macrofauna density, biomass and community composition.
We found that the impact of human activities varied greatly between PPs, with the main trend of declining PPs, matched the trends evident from statistical analysis and land use and land cover (LULC) change evaluation.
We gathered statistical data on land cover and land use for the time period 1883 2007.
We applied a combination of generalized additive and generalized linear modelling to develop spatially explicit statistical models for land cover transitions between any of the following types: intensively used agricultural land, extensively used agricultural land, overgrown areas, open canopy forest, closed canopy forest.
However, most of the available pyrosequencing studies do not allow a statistical assessment of land use and management effects on soil bacterial communities, as analyses of replicates were often not performed.
