bci_focal_growth_largest_annular_biomass_type_factor.html.

An interactive rotatable graph of a three-dimensional GAM analysis of focal growth data from the BCI FDP. The graph allows the viewer to examine the surfaces formed by the data from all vantages, in order to visualize the differences between the physical and the phylogenetic distance axes. The areas of the surface on the graph that lie in regions of significant z-values are shown in color. The areas that lie in regions of non-significant z-values are in gray. Because of the size of the graph, it is possible to show clearly the magnitude of the 95% confidence intervals of the surface itself, which tend to be small. The surface with its confidence interval also shows that irregular features along the surface’s phylogenetic distance axis retain their shapes and their significance even in parts of the surface that lie within regions where the individual z-values themselves are non-significant.
