- Tools for Assessment of Multiple Scale Land Change Models
+======Tools for Assessment of Multiple Scale Land Change Models======
 Kristina Helle, Pedro Andrade, and Edzer Pebesma
-Introduction
+=====Introduction=====
 The complex relations between biophysical and anthropological factors generate the land change patterns of our environment. In order to study this complex phenomena, we have to rely on simulation models, for example cellular automata or agent-based models. LUCC simulation models usually generate a new map given a real world map of land cover classes. In the figure below, the left map shows the real data and the right one the simulated results.

 With these metrics, it is possible to calibrate or to validate the model.
 In fact, the final objective of these goodness-of-fit methods is to point out how to improve the model.

-Pontius (2002) realized that we only need to take into account the cells that have changed, instead of comparing the whole maps. His more flexible approach allows to explicitly separate errors of quantity and of location and to use fuzzy classification. Others like Jantz and Goetz (2005) did also address geometric porperties of the land use patterns like number and shape of clusters and length of edges. Some of these metrices are already implemented in TerraME but have not been used for testing.
+Pontius (2002) realized that we only need to take into account the cells that have changed, instead of comparing the whole maps. His more flexible approach allows to explicitly separate errors of quantity and of location and to use fuzzy classification. Later (Pontius et al. 2008) he refines his technique to compare real changes and predicted changes. Others like Jantz and Goetz (2005) did also address geometric porperties of the land use patterns like number and shape of clusters and length of edges. Some of these metrices are already implemented in TerraME but have not been used for testing.
 Scale (here in terms of resolution and extend) is an important property of LUCC models. Li (2000) investigated the fractal properties which are typical to many land use (change) patterns. Another approach by Jantz and Goetz (2005) compared different goodness-of-fit measures on several resolutions for an urban growth model as land use changes may show varying behaviour on different scales. But also extend can change models a lot as Kok and Veldkamp (2001) showed for national vs. multinational models.
-Calibration of cellular automata or agent-based models is not a trivial task as parameters influence is in most cases non-linear and often the number of parameters is high, making comprehensive evaluation of all combinations unfeasible. Simple approaches like by Clarke et al. (1998) generate lots of simulations to be evaluated by the user, they consider interactive visualization as an important tool. Multi-resolution search of the parameter space as described in Candau (2002) may help to detect important parameter combinations and subsequently to adjust them with feasible computational effort. Still users may not find the most influential parameter combinations. This task was addressed by Miller (1998) who used several robust optimization algorithms to investigate the parameter space. Wu (2002)  uses the data to fit a prior distribution to the parameters and updates it according to the results of Monte Carlo simulations for calibrating a cellular automata model.

Wu (2002)  uses the data to fit a prior distribution to the parameters and updates it according to the results of Monte Carlo simulations for calibrating a cellular automata model. Whereas calibration of agent based models is still a domain of econometrics (e.g. Rogers & von Tessin 2004).
-The diversity of LUCC models may require different calibration and validation methods. An overview over current multi-agent models is given by Parker et al. (2003).
+The diversity of LUCC models may require different calibration and validation methods. An overview over current models is given by Agarwal et al., a comparison of several models by Pontius et al. (2008). Parker et al. (2003) focus on multi-agent models only.

 =====Mobility Measures=====
 The topic is at the overlap of the research at INPE (agent-based and cellular automata models of LUCC) and IFGI (statistics, calibration / validation of models). Therefore the theses should take place as sandwich (exchange: PhD 6-12 months, MSc 2-3 months), starting either at INPE or IFGI.
