Two‐Stage Boosted Regression Tree Model to Characterize Southern Flounder Distribution in Texas Estuaries at Varying Population Sizes

Abstract: Linking trends in fish population abundance to environmental characteristics is often difficult because fish use a variety of habitats throughout their ontogeny and may exhibit large interannual fluctuations in abundance. We developed a two‐stage boosted regression tree model to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of Southern Flounder Paralichthys lethostigma abundance and distribution in Texas estuaries. We used a 36‐year fishery‐independent data set (1977–2012) to correlate distribution with environmental co… Show more

“…Final GAMs were also used to project how lobster distribution may change under two thermally contrasting climatologies (Sagarese et al 2014). Predictive fields were interpolated using ordinary kriging to describe spatial variability in lobster catch density (Froeschke and Froeschke 2016;Tanaka et al 2017). Ordinary kriging procedures were conducted via the automap package (Hiemstra et al 2008) and kriged maps were prepared at 0.03 × 0.03 latitude/longitude grid.…”

“…The repeated CV predictions in a BRT model is the average taken from many models, thus the models tend to overestimate low values and underestimate high values 53 . To overcome this problem, we explored splitting the data into a presence/absence binomial (Bernoulli) BRT model and a log-transformed presence only Gaussian BRT 53,54 , however the resulting ensemble models performed much poorer than the one-model approach and were therefore abandoned.…”
