The importance of active-entry drift at a community-scale
was evaluated by testing whether the placement of wood

density of woody debris...

We developed and investigated machine learning methods that require
minimal preprocessing of the input data, use few training examples, run fast, and
still obtain high levels of accuracy.
Most approaches to designing machine learning programs are based on the
supervised learning paradigm – training examples are chosen randomly and given...
