Covariance among independent variables determines the overfitting and underfitting in variation partitioning methods: with a focus on the mixed co-variation
The effectiveness and validity of applying variation partitioning methods in community ecology has been questioned. Here, using mathematical deduction and numerical simulation, we made an attempt to uncover the underlying mechanisms determining the effectiveness of variation partitioning techniques....
