OptimClass: Using species-to-cluster fidelity to determine the optimal partition in classification of ecological communities

2010-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Question: Community ecologists are often confronted with multiple possible partitions of a single set of records of species composition and/or abundances from several sites. Different methods of numerical classification produce different results, and the question is which of them, and how many clusters, should be selected for interpretation. We demonstrate a new method for identifying the optimal partition from a...
