- Title
AN INFORMATION THEORY MODEL FOR PATTERN ANALYSIS.
- Authors
Orloci, Laszlo
- Abstract
The article offers information on how to develop an information theory model (I-model) and illustrates the application of the model on Andropogon scoparius in a grassland community on the shore of Lake Erie at Rondeau Provincial Park in Ontario. Based on the article, the I-model analyzes a collection of species by assuming that it contains contiguous sampling units that are characterized by either species frequency or species density. Like the sum of squares model (SS-model) developed by researcher P. Greig-Smith, the I-model define pattern as a spatial property.
