Simulating Land Use Change in the Seoul Metropolitan Area after Greenbelt Elimination Using the SLEUTH Model

Table 5

Selected SLEUTH indices for evaluating the accuracy of the simulated output of the model during the calibration phases.

Index	Description
Product	All scores multiplied together
Compare	Modeled population for final year/actual population for final year
Pop	Least squares regression score for modeled urbanization compared to actual urbanization for control years
Edges	Least squares regression score for modeled urban edge count compared to actual urban edge count for control years
Clusters	Least squares regression score for modeled urban clustering compared to known urban clustering for control years
Slope	Least squares regression of average slope for modeled urbanized cells compared to average slope of known urban cells for control years
-mean	Least squares regression of average values for modeled urbanized cells compared to average values of known urban cells for control years
-mean	Least squares regression of average values for modeled urbanized cells compared to average values of known urban cells for control years
