Abstract: | The present purpose is to provide convenient computational capability and visualizations for preliminary partial or progressive
prioritization based largely on concepts of partial order theory and implemented in R software as illustrated in a context of conservation and sustainable stewardship across landscapes with ecosystem services
as a complex multidimensional domain that must be placed in public and private perspective in pursuit of multi-resource management.
Practical perspective is promoted by graphic visualization with local partial order modeling (LPOM) methods for screening
of settings and scenarios involving interactions of ecosystem elements as evidenced by environmental indicators. ORDIT ordering
and precedence plots arise from ascribed advantage as an outcome of a rating regime. Representative ranks constitute criteria
drawn from the rank distribution for the case in question. Distal data are determined with regard to remediation and retention.
Median mismatches reflect interplay of indicators appearing as isolated instances in plotting patterns. A suggested strategy
to circumvent computational constraints is partitioning the pool of cases into collectives by clustering, pursuing classes
of partitions, and then prioritizing in particular partitions. When prime prospects have been obtained, detailed determinations
can be done with partial ordering procedures involving Hasse diagrams and similarly complex constructs that are difficult
to apply with many cases and/or indicator criteria. |
