Predictive digital soil mapping(PDSM) is a mapping technique enabled by advances in computing and data science that uses numerical or statistical models to combine information about soil-forming factors obtained from spatial data layers(environmental covariates) with point soil data in order to estimate soil features for a map area...  4, record 1, English, - digital%20soil%20mapping

Conventional and digital soil mapping differ primarily in the way that soil classes or attribute values are assigned to locations. In conventional soil mapping, a combination of field inspection, extrapolation and expert knowledge is used, while in digital soil mapping, field information and quantitative inference models are used to predict soil conditions at given locations.  7, record 1, English, - digital%20soil%20mapping

Le principe général de la cartographie numérique des sols est [...] de prédire des classes de sol ou des propriétés de sol en utilisant d'une part les données pédologiques disponibles sur la zone à étudier et, d'autre part, les données spatiales représentant des éléments du paysage en relation (de causalité ou non) avec les sols, appelées dans la suite «covariables du sol».  2, record 1, French, - cartographie%20num%C3%A9rique%20des%20sols

Ensemble Prediction Systems(EPS) are numerical weather prediction(NWP) systems that allow us to estimate the uncertainty in a weather forecast as well as the most likely outcome. Instead of running the NWP model once(a deterministic forecast), the model is run many times from very slightly different initial conditions.  7, record 2, English, - ensemble%20weather%20forecast%20system

Numerical Habitat Models(NHM) have been developed to predict fish habitat quantity, quality and distribution under different flow regimes found in rivers. These models depend on the estimation of an Habitat Quality Index(HQI) at the scale of fish microhabitat. One of the problems of NHM is that mathematical constructs to estimate HQI in one river may not be applicable to other rivers. Hence, HQI are not transferable among rivers. The most common measures of HQI are based on indices of preference of fish for specific ranges of water depth, current speed and substrate composition(referred to as Habitat Suitability Indices; HSI).  5, record 6, English, - habitat%20quality%20index

Inspiré du «Habitat Suitability Index (HSI)», élaboré aux États-Unis, l'indice de qualité de l'habitat (IQH) est un modèle mathématique qui permet d'évaluer, pour une espèce faunique, la valeur en tant qu'habitats (milieu dans lequel une espèce animale donnée trouve, en quantité suffisante, les éléments biologiques et physiques nécessaires à sa survie et à sa reproduction) d'une série de peuplements forestiers. L'IQH ne sous-entend pas une certaine densité de population pour chaque classe d'habitat, c'est-à-dire que l'IQH ne donne pas une projection de la densité d'individus possible que l'on peut trouver dans un peuplement, mais il détermine la valeur de ce peuplement en termes d'habitats pour certaines espèces.  1, record 6, French, - indice%20de%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27habitat

In BIP-I, the student model is defined only in terms of the skills, though in general other levels could be used as well. Associated with each skill is a pair of numerical values. One value stands for the system's estimate of the student's mastery of the skill and is updated by very simple techniques according to his performance on each task. The other stands for the student's own estimate of his understanding and is updated in the course of a short interview following each exercise. Since problem selection takes both values into account, this is an interesting, albeit simple, combination of inferential and interactive diagnosis.  2, record 7, English, - interactive%20diagnosis

Robustness estimate. The second step in assessing robustness in estimating the impact of each environmental shock on each project.(...) We think it is better to estimate shock impact by reasoned judgment than by some form of detailed calculation. We use a numerical estimate that ranges anywhere from-10(very severe negative impact) through 0(no impact) to + 10(very strong positive impact).  1, record 8, English, - robustness%20estimate
