Issues in spatially explicit statistical land-use/cover change (LUCC) models: Examples from western (2007, methodology): “An important criticism of simple cross-tabulation statistics has been made by Pontius (Pontius, 2002; Pontius and Schneider, 2001; Pontius et al., 2004).”
Random forests as a tool for ecohydrological distribution modelling (2007, neutral): “This curve, originating from signal detection theory, is widely used in clinical sciences, but recently also in earth sciences (Guisan and Zimmerman, 2000; Pontius and Schneider, 2001; Boyce et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2005; Phillips et al., 2006).”
Multi-Agent Systems for the Simulation of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change: A Review (2003, methodology): “There is a long history of research into issues of scalar, spatial, and temporal corollaries of veriﬁcation and validation techniques upon which researchers may draw (Cliff and Ord 1973; Openshaw 1977; Anselin 1988; Pontius and Schneider 2001; Heuvelink 2002).”
Determinants of agricultural land abandonment in post-Soviet European Russia (2011, methodology): “We assessed the goodness-of-fit of the regressions using the log-likelihood for the logistic model, the deviance for the residuals of the null and fitted models, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) (Pontius and Schneider, 2001; R Development Core Team, 2011).”
Scenario Simulation and the Prediction of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Beijing, China (2015, methodology): “We test the statistics of the driving factors using the ROC curve proposed by Pontius [38], which evaluates the predicted probabilities by comparing them with the observed value [31].”
A method to analyse neighbourhood characteristics of land use patterns (2004, methodology): “The goodness of fit of the logistic regression model is evaluated by the ROC (Relative Operating Characteristic; Pontius & Schneider, 2001; Swets, 1986).”
Indirect land-use changes can overcome carbon savings from biofuels in Brazil (2010, methodology): “A second test using the relative operating characteristics (ROC)method (52) showed that the spatialpattern computedbyLandSHIFT [ROC (cropland) = 0.”
