Hypothesis
Predictability of climate is positively correlated with type of tenure system.
Note
Predictability of climate included: evenness of rainfall across seasons, available water and solar radiation, and standard deviation monthly rainfall. They are reported in that order below.
| Test Name | Support | Significance | Coefficient | Tail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spearman rank correlation | Not supported | p = 0.50; p = 0.23; p = 0.15 | Spearman's rho = 0.14; rho = 0.23; rho = 0.27 | UNKNOWN |
| Variable Name | Variable Type | OCM Term(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Land tenure system | Dependent | Real Property |
| Evenness of rainfall across seasons | Independent | Climate |
| Available water and solar radiation | Independent | Environmental Quality |
| Standard deviation monthly rainfall | Independent | Climate |
