Model Fits for Wildlife Photograph Quality and Distance Metrics

Hal Whitehead published this dataset on figshare in May 2026. It contains statistical model fits for two dependent variables related to wildlife photography: the proportion of poor photographs and the median range to photographed animals. The data is stored in a 13.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Compare model performance for predicting photograph quality based on independent variables.
• Analyze the relationship between median animal distance and environmental or control variables.
• Benchmark generalized linear and quadratic modeling techniques on ecological observation data.

Strengths

• Model fits are explicitly for two distinct dependent variables: proportion of poor photographs and median range.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• The file size is 13.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
