Table 5 Distribution of test set dive maximum depths grouped after observed dive type (foraging or non-foraging) and classification results (correct or incorrect). Results are for the models trained by leaving one whale out as test set. The presence or absence of buzzes determines the dive type. Correct forage dives are deep compared to the correct non-forage dives, while the incorrect dives fall between the two. This might indicate that depth is indicative of dive type for certain depths
