摘要
Decision rule sets are used widely to classify the conservation status of species. These classifications are intended to approximate the relative degree of threat faced by different species. They are important because they play a role in setting conservation priorities. It is suggested that such rule sets should take into account estimates of the statistical distribution and confidence intervals reported for each of the parameters. Examples are provided for three threatened Australian plant species. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
