Fig. 3From: Where did they not go? Considerations for generating pseudo-absences for telemetry-based habitat modelsRelationship between model predictive skill (AUC; Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) and environmental separation between presences and pseudo-absences (Bhattacharyya’s coefficient) for blue whales (upper) and elephants (lower). Bhattacharyya’s coefficient was calculated for key environmental covariates (symbols). Sub-panels for each model type (BRT, GAMM, GLMM) are shown, with colors indicating pseudo-absence generation technique. The lines represent linear regression between the AUC value and the Bhattacharyya’s coefficient independent of pseudo-absence type and variableBack to article page
