From: Forging a Bayesian link between habitat selection and avoidance behavior in a grassland grouse
Analytic process used to determine presence and magnitude of avoidance thresholds. All examples use data for home range centroids. (A) Probabilities (± Bayesian highest density credible intervals) of occurrence of an individual Lesser Prairie-Chickens and random points at a given distance from an feature (in this case roads in New Mexico, binned at 100 m). (B) Difference in random and prairie-chicken points for the same data set. The point at which the difference curve crosses 0 is the threshold. (C) The search window (small box) to estimate the threshold often was unambiguous (fences, New Mexico, binned at 10 m). (D) For unclear cases, we conservatively searched for the threshold at the shorter distance (left box, where credible intervals cross 0) rather than the direct point (right box) crossed (fences, Oklahoma, binned at 10 m).
