Knowledge graph centered on Bayesian spatial record linkage for multi-temporal LiDAR (Plantae) with 44 nodes and 139 connections. Top connected: Spruce, Atriplex canescens, Populus, Populus tremuloides, Picea engelmannii.
A two-stage Bayesian hierarchical approach that identifies unique individuals across LiDAR scans by modeling observed locations as noisy transformations of latent true locations, then propagates linkage uncertainty into downstream analysis through linkage-averaging.
