Statistics and biology unite to fight invasive species

"'Machine learning provides many complementary tools for predicting whether a specific invasion is likely to be eradicated, using some specified approach.' Lewis and Greiner, along with their former post-doctoral fellow Yanyu Xiao, ran machine learning techniques to produce the easy-to-use decision trees. Environmental managers can use them to determine the best strategy for dealing with any invasion, ranging from eradication to containment and mitigation of spread." -Excerpt from Folio, University of Alberta discussing a new technique for managing and eradicating invasive species.
