Using Maximum Entropy Modeling for Optimal Selection of Sampling Sites for Monitoring Networks

Using Maximum Entropy Modeling for Optimal Selection of Sampling Sites for Monitoring Networks

Environmental monitoring programs must efficiently describe state shifts. We propose using maximum entropy modeling to select dissimilar sampling sites to capture environmental variability at low cost, and demonstrate a specific application: sample site selection for the Central Plains domain (453,4...
