State-space modeling of the dynamics of temporal plant cover using visually determined class data

A lot of vegetation-related data have been collected as an ordered plant cover class that can be determined visually. However, they are difficult to analyze numerically as they are in an ordinal scale and have uncertainty in their classification. Here, I constructed a state-space model to estimate u...
