Categorical data analysis using discretization of continuous variables to investigate associations in marine ecosystems
通过连续变量离散化分析海洋生态系统中的关联
Understanding and predicting interactions between predators and prey and their environment are fundamental for understanding food web structure, dynamics, and ecosystem function in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.Thus, estimating the conditional associations between species and their environments is important for exploring connections or cooperative links in the ecosystem, which in turn can help to clarify such causal relationships. For this purpose, a relevant and…
