Bias in Diet Determination: Incorporating Traditional Methods in Bayesian Mixing Models
There are not "universal methods" to determine diet composition of predators. Most traditional methods are biased because of their reliance on differential digestibility and the recovery of hard items. By relying on assimilated food, stable isotope and Bayesian mixing models (SIMMs) resolve many biases of traditional methods. SIMMs can incorporate prior information (i.e. proportional diet compo...
متن کاملSearching for the True Diet of Marine Predators: Incorporating Bayesian Priors into Stable Isotope Mixing Models
Reconstructing the diet of top marine predators is of great significance in several key areas of applied ecology, requiring accurate estimation of their true diet. However, from conventional stomach content analysis to recent stable isotope and DNA analyses, no one method is bias or error free. Here, we evaluated the accuracy of recent methods to estimate the actual proportion of a controlled d...

15 صفحه اولMethods for representing bias in Bayesian networks
Bias is intrinsic to observation and reasoning in both humans and automated systems. Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) are well suited for representing these biases and for applying bias models to improve reasoning practices, but there are a number of different ways that bias can be represented and integrated into reasoning processes using BBNs. In this paper, we describe a number of methods to m...
