de Jager et al. (Reports, 24 June 2011, p. 1551) concluded that mussels Lévy walk. We confronted a larger model set with these data and found that mussels do not Lévy walk: Their movement is best described by a composite Brownian walk. This shows how model selection based on an impoverished set of candidate models can lead to incorrect inferences.
德雅热等人(报告,2011 年 6 月 24 日,第 1551 页)得出结论说贻贝采用 Lévy 漫步。我们用这些数据来检验一个更大的模型集,发现贻贝并非采用 Lévy 漫步:它们的运动最好用一个复合布朗漫步来描述。这表明,仅基于一套有限的候选模型进行模型选择,可能会导致错误的推断。
