The process of comparing different sized subsamples to determine whether enough information has been collected is called:
Rarefaction
SIMPER
Parsimony
‘Strength of Evidence’
True or false: Rarefaction standardises unequal sample sizes by effectively bringing the largest down to the smallest.
True or false: Rarefaction standardises unequal sample sizes by effectively bringing the smallest up to the largest.
Differentiating between accumulation and rarefaction curves (individual and sample-based): - Accumulation: total # of spp during process of data collection - Rarefaction: repeatedly subsampling Without With( Without, With ) replacement from the data (progressive data reduction)
Chao estimators are Parametric Non-parametric Metric Non-metric( Parametric, Non-parametric, Metric, Non-metric ) estimators for species richness.
