Path dependence and the validation of agent‐based spatial models of land use (2005, methodology): “This has led to greater emphasis on the validation of spatial land-use models (Costanza 1989, Pontius 2000, 2002, Kok et al .”
Multi-Agent Systems for the Simulation of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change: A Review (2003, methodology): “Location- based methods, such as error-matrix analysis or the kappa statistics, are now joined by measures that better differentiate between location prediction and quantity prediction ( Pontius 2000 ; Pontius and Schneider 2001 ).”
Useful techniques of validation for spatially explicit land-change models (2004, background): “Pontius Jr et al. / Ecological Modelling 179 (2004) 445–461”
Uncertainty associated with survey design in Species Distribution Models (2014, unknown): “We also evaluated the Klocation metric (Pontius, 2000; Geri et al., 2011), which is similar to kappa but takes into account the spatial location of errors.”
Death to Kappa: birth of quantity disagreement and allocation disagreement for accuracy assessment (2011, background): “…to the fact that κquantity was originally derived to inform predictive land-change modelling and not for simple map comparison or accuracy assessment (Pontius 2000). κquantity attempts to assess how accurate the specification of quantity is in the comparison map, while taking 385 into…”
Newer Classification and Regression Tree Techniques: Bagging and Random Forests for Ecological Prediction (2006, methodology): “Two other variants to Kappa together define the locational and quantitative similarities (Pontius 2000; Hagen 2002).”
Comparing the input, output, and validation maps for several models of land change (2008, background): “A series of papers describe how to budget the total disagreement between any two maps that share a categorical variable in terms of separable components (Pontius 2000, 2002; Pontius et al. 2004b).”
Modeling the Spatial Dynamics of Regional Land Use: The CLUE-S Model (2002, methodology): “…of the Kappa statistic (Cohen 1960), the recently derived special Kappa statistics to evaluate the ability of the model to simulate location (Pontius 2000), while the fuzzy equivalent of the Kappa statistic evaluates the fuzziness of location and category of the simulated land-use patterns…”
The Map Comparison Kit (2006, background): “Often used to assess the similarities between observed and predicted results, it is not only applied to geographical problems (e.g., Monserud and Leemans, 1992; Pontius, 2000) but to many other disciplines such as medical and social sciences.”
Simulating urban land use change by incorporating an autologistic regression model into a CLUE-S model (2015, methodology): “The Kappa index evaluates model accuracy by comparing the actual data and the simulation results pixel by pixel (Pontius, 2000).”
