Good Morning,
Here are the preliminary thoughts of analysis: I am taking 23 years of
sea turtle stranding data along the South Carolina coast and looking at
the spatial and temporal relationships.
For the spatial component, I want to look at where the strandings are
occurring more frequently along the coast. Thinking ahead as far as the
statistical analysis, what design would you use to divide the coastline
up into pieces/parts. Possibilities include line segments, island by
island, and geography of the land (sounds and harbors).
There is a commercial fisheries component here and I do not want to have
any bias in the spatial analysis. My first thought is to create line
segments of random lengths or should the lengths be equal in length?
Also, shouldn't each segment be independent of the next?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thank you for your time and I will sum.
