ID Sample Post-prediction Mask LCMAP Preds
landsat-fia Trained directly on the most recent set of FIA plots across the state None Yes
1 Non-forested pixels excluded from sample. 20 equal interval bins constructed across acceptable pixels from all LiDAR-AGB surfaces. 0.05% of each LiDAR-AGB surface is sampled broken out evenly across bins. ~25k pixels. Non-forested AGB pixels are set to 0 and included in map accuracy assessment. No
2 LiDAR-AGB pixels in Developed, Water, or Barren LCMAP classes are excluded. 20 equal interval bins constructed across acceptable pixels from all LiDAR-AGB surfaces. 0.05% of acceptable pixels sampled from each surface broken out evenly across bins. ~40k pixels. AGB pixels in Developed, Water, or Barren classes are set to 0 and included in map accuracy assessment. No
3 All landcover classes are included in sample. 20 equal interval bins constructed across all pixels from all LiDAR-AGB surfaces. ~45k pixels. None Yes
4 0.01% of each LCMAP class x LiDAR-AGB surface sampled randomly. No stratification by AGB. ~10k pixels. None Yes
5 LiDAR-AGB pixels in Developed, Water, and Barren LCMAP classes forced to 0 and included in the sample. 20 equal interval bins constructed across pixels from all LiDAR-AGB surfaces. 0.05% of pixels sampled from each surface broken out evenly across bins. ~45k pixels. AGB pixels in Developed, Water, or Barren classes are set to 0 and included in map accuracy assessment. Yes
