The AUSRIVAS predictive system produces a variety of information about the condition of a test site. Not all the output produced will be of interest to all users because some output may be too technical or have little relevance for the intended level of reporting. For this reason the AUSRIVAS output is structured so that users can extract only the level of information required. First, the probability of group membership for your test sites will be calculated. Next, the individual taxon probabilities of occurrence at each test site will be calculated. These results are then used to produce the observed to expected taxa scores and also observed to expected scores for the SIGNAL index. The outputs of these steps are presented on separate sheets that are opened by clicking the name tab at the bottom of each sheet.
 

AUSRIVAS may also modify your input data if necessary.

Each of these datasheets is explained further in the following sections.
