Table 3 Investigating the performance of the null hypothesis randomisation test. Sets of artificial data sets were created using four different approaches
Path model | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Approach for creating artificial data sets: | straight-line | least-cost | random walk |
(i) branch durations randomly permutated among branches | 6 % | 3 % | 3 % |
(ii) branch durations equal to spatial distance | 0 % | 0 % | 5 % |
(iii) branch durations equal to environmental “weight” | 100 % | 100 % | 100 % |
(iv) branch durations equal to a value between (ii) and (iii) | 95 % | 100 % | 100 % |
