Hi there,
very good question indeed.
I have no direct answer but three more points to add:
-in virtually any GIS and software computations, SLOPE, ASPECT, IDW, KRIGGING etc.
one will find such type of questions, and many answers and solutions. None of them are
very clear and often not precise. Home range and Kernel computations are notorious for that.
-there is quite a mis-match with reality, and wrong perceptions, when it comes to such metrics,
tools, layers and GIS data.
-this does not only affect inference, but many management and real-world questions indeed, science, education,
certifications and publications included.
Overall, for a good software, these items are essential to have right and well documented;
the more the better. One wonders what the metadata really are for those metrics ?
Happy to learn more, thanks.
