R&D Aquatic GAP Project
• Developing and testing standards for aquatic GAP in three basins
• Building predictive models
• Combine with terrestrial GAP projects in southeast
Models• Logit models
– Goodness-of-fit using Hosmer-Lemshow test
– ANOVA on residuals to examine spatial dependence• Hierarchical models used when dependence occurred
– AIC model selection and X-validation
• Non-parametric models– k-nearest neighbor analysis (CATDAT)
– Monte Carlo tests to examine individual predictors
