Abstract

Mammal community structure is comprised of multidimensional data. This chapter analyzes the temporal distribution of mammals in the early Pleistocene site of ‘Ubeidiya, Israel. The statistical model reflects the relationship between communities from the same local but temporally distinct, by means of a spatial correlation. Resemblance matrices are computed for the response—that is, the dependent variable (in this case, the mammalian community structure)—and for the explanatory (independent) variables—for example, time and environment—by means of similarity indices. The connection between these matrices is computed through the application of the Mantel’s test, as shown by the relevant model equations. The statistical significance is estimated with 10,000 permutation repetitions.
