  2. Table 29.1. A matrix matching statistical techniques to various applications that require group classification or discrimination. Applications are discussed in the Introduction, coded here as groups defined on species composition (SPP) or environmental variables (ENV). Techniques are discriminant analysis (DA), group-contrast Mantel test (GC-Mantel), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), nonparametric MANOVA (NPMANOVA), multi-response permutation procedures (MRPP), classification and regression trees (CART), generalized linear models (GLM), and generalized additive models (GAM).

  3. Table 29.3. Indicator Species Analysis for the seven forest types identified via hierarchical clustering. Indicator values (IV) are percentage of perfect fidelity. Indicator values were tested for statistical significance based on 1000 permutations (**, p < 0.001; *, p < 0.005). Sequence = order of groups in data, Identifier = group identifier, Avg =Average IV, Max = Maximum IV, MaxGrp = Group with highest IV.

  4. Figure 29.1. Upper: Classification tree for 7 forest types on 15 environmental variables (function rpart, complexity parameter (cp) = 0.000001, minsplit = 10, split = information).

  5. Figure 29.1. (Lower): Pruned classification tree, simplified by stopping the tree at the number of nodes corresponding to the point where the pruning curve crosses the minimum (1 S.E.) line (Fig. 29.2).

  6. Table 29.4. Misclassification table for the 7 forest types, based on a pruned CART model with 11 nodes (Fig. 29.3). Rows are actual forest types, columns are predicted forest types. Row totals are indexed as number correct/number misclassified. Total misclassification rate based on jack-knifing is 39/98 (39.8%).

  7. Figure 29.2. Cost-complexity pruning curve for the classification tree in Figure 29.1. Error bars are estimated from 10 cross-validation subsets of the samples. The horizontal line is one standard error above the minimum error rate. “Inf” = infinite. Relative error is calculated by cross-validation.
