Abstract Background New wildlife telemetry and tracking technologies have become available in the last decade, leading to a large increase in the volume and resolution of animal tracking data. These technical developments have been accompanied by various statistical tools aimed at analysing the data obtained by these methods. Methods We used simulated habitat and tracking data to compare some of the different statistical methods frequently used to infer local resource selection and large-scale attraction/avoidance from tracking data. Notably, we compared spatial logistic regression models (SLRMs), spatio-temporal point process models (ST-PPMs), step selection models (SSMs), and integrated step selection models (iSSMs) and their interplay with habitat and animal movement properties in terms of statistical hypothesis testing. Results We demonstrated that only iSSMs and ST-PPMs showed nominal type I error rates in all studied cases, whereas SSMs may slightly and SLRMs may frequently and strongly exceed these levels. iSSMs appeared to have on average a more robust and higher statistical power than ST-PPMs. Conclusions Based on our results, we recommend the use of iSSMs to infer habitat selection or large-scale attraction/avoidance from animal tracking data. Further advantages over other approaches include short computation times, predictive capacity, and the possibility of deriving mechanistic movement models.

To solve the problem that it is difficult to identify the cutting rock wall hardness of the roadheader in coal mine, a recognition method of cutting rock wall hardness is proposed based on multi-source data fusion and optimized probabilistic neural network. In this method, all kinds of cutting signals (the vibration signal of cutting arm, the pressure signal of hydraulic cylinders and current signal of cutting motor) are analyzed by wavelet packet to extract the feature vector, and the multi feature signal sample database of rock cutting with different hardness is established. To solve the problems of uncertain spread and complex network structure of probabilistic neural network (PNN), a PNN optimization method based on differential evolution algorithm (DE) and QR decomposition was proposed, and the rock hardness was identified based on multi-source data fusion by optimizing PNN. Then, based on the ground test monitoring data of a heavy longitudinal roadheader, the method is applied to recognize the cutting rock hardness, and compared with other common pattern recognition methods. The experimental results show that the cutting rock hardness recognition based on multi-source data fusion and optimized PNN has higher recognition accuracy, and the overall recognition error is reduced to 6.8%. The recognition of random cutting rock hardness is highly close to the actual. The method provides theoretical basis and technical premise for realizing automatic and intelligent cutting of heading face.
