Error metrics quantify predicted flow accuracy and compare different predictions.
Hydrologists commonly use and report metrics with little justification or discussion of the …

Remote sensing, or Earth Observation (EO), is increasingly used to understand Earth system
dynamics and create continuous and categorical maps of biophysical properties and land …

Purpose Partial least squares (PLS) has been introduced as a “causal-predictive” approach
to structural equation modeling (SEM), designed to overcome the apparent dichotomy …

When evaluating the performance of quantitative models, dimensioned errors often are
characterized by sums-of-squares measures such as the mean squared error (MSE) or its …

The family of Kappa indices of agreement claim to compare a map's observed classification
accuracy relative to the expected accuracy of baseline maps that can have two types of …

In this paper, we develop, present and evaluate a refined, statistical index of model
performance. This 'new'measure (dr) is a reformulation of Willmott's index of agreement …

Vegetation impacts on ecosystem functioning are mediated by mycorrhizas, plant–fungal
associations formed by most plant species. Ecosystems dominated by distinct mycorrhizal …

This study develops an approach to mapping indicators of the potential of ecosystems to
supply ecosystem services, and the impact of changes in land cover and use upon them …

The accuracy of a land cover classification is the degree to which the map land cover agrees
with the reference land cover classification (ie ground condition). The basic sampling …

The exponential growth of ridesourcing services has been disrupting the transportation
sector and changing how people travel. As ridesourcing continues to grow in popularity …
