Estimating the taxonomic composition of a sample when individuals are classified with error
暂无分享,去创建一个
When a sample of individual organisms is classi- fied taxonomically with the possibility of classification error, the taxonomic counts of the classified individuals are biased estimates of the true counts in the sample. This note describes a simple method for correcting for this bias based on the classification probabilities of the classifier. The method is illustrated using some data from the Video Plankton Recorder.
