Data-Mining Discovery of Pattern and Process in Ecological Systems

Overview Most ecologists use statistical methods as their main analytical tools when analyzing data to identify relationships between a response and a set of predictors; thus, they treat all analyses as hypothesis tests or exercises in parameter estimation. However, little or no prior knowledge about a system can lead to creation of a statistical model or models that do not accurately describe major sources of variation in the response variable. The paper suggests that under such circumstances data mining is more appropriate for analysis.
