摘要: |
The assumption that a data set used for any mathematical or computer modeling is error-free is an underlying premise of theoretical modeling. However, the assumptions of error-free data and models usually do not hold true in the real world. Error is a natural property of surveys and modeling. Consequently, error should be taken into account when developing any type of model. The goal of this project is to create an error-budget model for a population dynamics model of plant communities. Once developed, this error- budget model can in turn be used for a number of other purposes such as data correction, model evaluation, quality control, and management decisionmaking. |
