Evaluating effects of data quality and variable weighting on habitat suitability modelling by Stephanie Arsenault, Robyn Linner, Yong Chen

“…This survey and region are an excellent case study to compare two approaches in constructing HSI models: using calibrated versus uncalibrated abundance data and weighting all environmental variables equally or using a model-based weighting method. The results of this study suggest that using calibrated abundance data with unweighted habitat variables provide the most robust estimates for bay anchovy suitable spawning habitat in the HRE, which indicates that in cases when sampling has not been consistent over time, using calibrated abundance data in habitat suitability modelling may lead to improved models. …”
