Need to consider persistence
• Many cases: Most of the area does not change• Focus: Predicting the changed area
Example:• 99% of the area unchanged• All the change predicted at wrong locations• 98 % of the area is „correct“!

What do we evaluate?
Equal total amount!

Goodness of fit metric
• (1) Inside sampling window: Compute the difference in amount of change between both grids
![Page 26: Measuring Allocation Errors in Land Change Models in Amazonia](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815aaf550346895dc8569e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
& 26
Merret Buurman, 26.11.2013
Goodness of fit metric
• (2) Sum this up for all sampling windows
![Page 27: Measuring Allocation Errors in Land Change Models in Amazonia](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815aaf550346895dc8569e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
& 27
Merret Buurman, 26.11.2013
Goodness of fit metric
• (3) Divide by twice the total amount of change– Why twice? In the previous steps, every „wrong“
allocation was counted twice, because too much change in one cell automatically means too little change in another, due to the equality of demand in both grids.

Goodness of fit metric
• (4) Subtract from one to get goodness
• … and repeat for all other resolutions

Goodness of fit metric
• Fw = Goodness of fit at resolution w.
• tw = Number of sampling windows at resolution w.• w = Resolution (a sampling window has w2 cells).• arefi = Percent of change in land cover in cell i in the reference cell space.
• amodj = Change in land use/land cover in cell j in the model cell space.• i, j = Cells inside a sampling window.• u = Cells inside the cell space.• s = A sampling window.• num = Number of cells in the cell space (tw * w2)

Why so weak?
• Neighborhood model: captures only existing regions (not new frontiers)
• Similarity Neighborhood model & SimAmazonia: Same reason? Compare maps!

Conclusion
• Predicting the locations of future deforestation:More difficult than expected!
• Problem: Policy recommendation based on those predictions
• Our hope: Next generation of deforestation models will capture better the complex human decision-making
