Exophagy Indoor-Outdoor Biting Ratio Behavior Classifier
Compare observed indoor/outdoor bites; retains ties and does not establish intrinsic host-seeking behavior.
Description
Compare observed indoor/outdoor bites; retains ties and does not establish intrinsic host-seeking behavior.
Comparing outdoor and indoor biting observations gives a proportion for the supplied data and a simple predominance label. It does not automatically establish an insect population's stable behavior.
When to use this tool
Compare observed indoor/outdoor bites; retains ties and does not establish intrinsic host-seeking behavior.
- Prepare the supplied indoorBites, outdoorBites fields for this operation.
- Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter indoorBites, outdoorBites. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
- Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
- Read result.outdoorFraction, result.observedPredominance. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.
Require nonnegative indoorBites/outdoorBites with a positive sum. Return outdoorBites divided by their sum and label outdoor, indoor or tie using a strict comparison between the supplied amounts.1
| Input field | Meaning and representation | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| indoorBites | indoor bites. | Finite number; greater than zero; zero or greater |
| outdoorBites | outdoor bites. | Finite number; zero or greater |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named outputs below. |
| result.outdoorFraction | The outdoor fraction value under the stated formula or text convention. |
| result.observedPredominance | The observed predominance value under the stated formula or text convention. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Inputs may be noninteger nonnegative measurements, not necessarily validated counts. Unequal observation effort, catch methods, sampling uncertainty and population representativeness are not corrected.
- Every declared top-level field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; ordinary text fields are bounded to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter operation-specific limits where stated.
- Ordinary string lists have at most 128 entries of at most 128 code units each; numeric lists and matrices have separate bounded size checks. Nonfinite results and excessively large serialized outputs are rejected.
- Indexes are zero-based and spans have an exclusive end unless explicitly stated otherwise. A valid false, null or empty-list result is distinct from malformed input.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Combine recorded observations with a validated method, appropriate controls and the complete specimen context. Use original qualified references when reviewing species, stages or product information; a supplied-record match, sample ratio or historical flag is only the stated piece of evidence.
