Re: Importance of the explanatory variables in a density surface model

[Giliba Richard]

Dear distance sampling group,

I was wondering if it's possible to assess the importance of the explanatory variables in a density surface model.

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if this is a satisfactory answer to your question, but you could consult the "Model Selection" section of the example density surface model analysis found on our examples website:

http://examples.distancesampling.org/dsm-line-dolphins/mexico-analysis.html#model-selection

Example dsm analysis: pantropical dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico Typically (i.e. for other datasets) it will be necessary divide the transects into segments, and allocate observations to the correct segments using a GIS or other similar package 1, before starting an analysis using dsm..
