Abstract:
Maximum entropy model (Maxent) and geographic information system (GIS) were used to predict the global ecological suitable region of Codonopsis pilosula based on 129 distribution data and 37 ecological factors. The results showed that the total area of ecological suitable region was about 884.79×104 km2, mainly in East Asia of the Northern Hemisphere, especially concentrated in China. The ecological suitable region in China with high suitable index was mainly in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, southeast of Gansu, east of Tibet, southeast of Yunnan, and the northeast of Shandong. It was indicated that China had the most suitable region for C. pilosula cultivation. The main influence factors for the geographical distribution of C. pilosula were climate factors, and the first factor was temperature, the next one was precipitation, and the topography factors and soil factors followed. Mean annual temperature, precipitation seasonality, mean temperature of coldest quarter and precipitation of driest quarter were the most important factors for the distribution of C. pilosula.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
