PURPOSE:

The goal of the Vertebrate Habitat Relationships Data Bank (VHRDB) effort was to provide an organized and documented repository of empirical wildlife-habitat data sets from throughout western Oregon.

METHODS:

Models/Algorithms - WE027:

Description:

Species-specific logistic regression models predict logit(p) from habitat measures, which are used here to derive the probability of occurrence (Prob):

Prob= Exp[logit(p)]/[1+Exp(logit(p))], where Prob ranges from 0 to 1.
