fishRivers: Characteristics of river reference sites

Description

Data on river sites was matched with data on fish caught at nearby fishing sites. Fishing sites were classified according to type of fish (Group = fish river type).

Usage

data(fishRivers)

source

Data relate to Turak and Koop (2007).

Details

To what extent can the fish river type be predicted, based on: (i) all explanatory variables; (ii) the variables Avrain, Dis, Elev, Lat, Long and Slope. The second set comprises the variables that would be used in practice to predict the fish river type at other sites.
