Genetic variation and environmental heterogeneity fundamentally shape the interactions between plants of the same species. According to the resource partitioning hypothesis, competition between neighbors intensifies as ...

When performing analysis of spatial data, there is often the need to aggregate geographical areas into larger regions, a process called regionalization or spatially constrained clustering. This type of aggregation can be ...

This work addresses testing the independence of two continuous and finite-dimensional random variables from the design of a data-driven partition. The empirical log-likelihood statistic is adopted to approximate the ...

A new histogram-based mutual information estimator using data-driven tree-structured partitions (TSP) is presented in this paper. The derived TSP is a solution to a complexity regularized empirical information maximization, ...

In tropical forests, the environmental heterogeneity can provide niche partitioning at local scales and determine the diversity and plant species distribution. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the variations of tree ...

Metric access methods based on hyperplane partitioning have the advantage, compared to the ball partitioning-based ones, that regions do not overlap. The price is less flexibility for controlling the tree shape, especially ...
