MCE Analysis
The goal of this project is to identify potential habitat for Malus fucas in Wuikinuxv territory. This species has particular ecological needs in order to maintain populations within its range. In order to locate this species potential habitat, selected ecological needs will be identified and utilized as factors in a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE).
The order of operations for this analysis are:
- Identify a goal or outcome for the project
- Determine ecological factors for the analysis
- Normalize these factors based on habitat preferences.
- Conduct an Analytical Hierarchical process to determine the weight that each of these factors hold in the analysis.
- Apply these weights in a weighted sum analysis
- Conduct a sensitivity analysis of the factors to determine whether or not the weighted sum analysis is effective.
Further details of these steps can be found within this methodology menu.
