Hypothesis
Net primary productivity is correlated with number of specializations.
Note
Tests of the variance, mean, constancy, and contingency of the net primary productivity were carried out, none of which were significant. p-values and coefficients for each of the models in that order are listed below.
| Test Name | Support | Significance | Coefficient | Tail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phylogenetic generalized linear model | Not supported | p=.89, p=.20, p=.15, p=.21 | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN |
| Variable Name | Variable Type | OCM Term(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Net Primary Productivity | Independent | Climate, Soil, Land Use |
| Number of Specializations | Dependent | Occupational Specialization |
