The header files for avg.log and std_dev.log are identical. The file data may be linked by run, year, and index number. All metrics are for a single year; they are not cumulative. Contents of avg.log and std_dev.log: run: a run consists of a single set of coefficient values and is executed MONTE_CARLO_ITERATIONS number of times from start to stop year year: the representative date for a growth cycle index: control year number sng: the number of new urban pixels generated from spontaneous growth sdg: the number of new urban pixels generated from new spreading center growth sdc: relic data type no longer used og: the number of new urban pixels generated from edge growth rt: the number of new urban pixels generated from road influenced growth pop: the total number of urban pixels area: the total number of urban pixels (same as pop) edges: the total number of urban/non-urban pixel edges clusters: the total number of urban clusters xmean: the average urban pixel column value ymean: the average urban pixel column value rad: the radius of the circle which encloses the urban area: (pow ((area / pi), 0.5)) slope: average slope of urbanized cells cl_size: average urban cluster size diffus: dispersion_coefficient value spread: spread_coefficient value breed: breed_coefficient value slp_res: slope_coefficient value rd_grav: road_gravity_coefficient value %urban: Percent of the number of urban pixels divided by the total number of pixels in the study area (nrows*ncols) minus the number of pixels that are completely excluded from urban growth: ((100.0 * urbancount) / (total_pixels - (noncount+road pixels)) %road: Percent of the number of road pixels divided by the total number of pixels in the study area (nrows*ncols) minus the number of pixels that are completely excluded from urban growth: ((100.0 * roadcount) / (total_pixels - noncount)) grw_rate: Percent of the new urban pixels in one year divided by the total number of urban pixels: (100 * num_growth_pix / pop) leesalee: a shape index, a measurement of spatial
fit between the model's growth and the known urban extent for the control
years. In predict mode
this value will always be zero (0): grw_pix: total number of new urban pixels |
