Circuit Theory and Model-Based Inference for Landscape Connectivity

摘要: Circuit theory has seen extensive recent use in the field of ecology, where it is often applied to study functional connectivity. The landscape typically represented by a network nodes and resistors, with resistance between function characteristics. effective distance two locations on network. been many other scientific fields for exploratory analyses, but parametric models circuits are not common literature. To model explicitly, we demonstrate link Gaussian Markov random contemporary circuit using covariance structure that induces necessary distance. This provides second-order observations from such system. In ecology setting, proposed simple framework inference can be obtained effects features ha...
