The Map Comparison Kit (2006, background): “Pontius (2002) suggests to choose ‘disagreement due to quantity’ and ‘disagreement due to location’, as better alternatives for KHisto and KLoc.”
Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment (2008, background): “Classification accuracy has been a focus of attention for a considerable period of time and is a topic that has developed considerably in recent years (Congalton 1991, 1994, Congalton and Green 1999, Pontius 2000, 2002, Foody 2002, Pontius and Cheuk 2006, Lu and Weng 2007).”
Issues in spatially explicit statistical land-use/cover change (LUCC) models: Examples from western (2007, methodology): “Pontius suggests separately considering quantity (i.e., proportion of the landscape allocated in each land-use type) vs. location (i.e., predicting the land-use outcome of a particular pixel).”
Death to Kappa: birth of quantity disagreement and allocation disagreement for accuracy assessment (2011, background): “This article focuses on the Kappa indices of agreement and two simpler measures: quantity disagreement and allocation disagreement (Pontius 2000, 2002, Pontius and Suedmeyer 2004, Pontius et al. 2007).”
