(2004) (LUCCBudget.rsx) The intensity analysis proposed by Aldwaik and Pontius (2012) (Intensity_analysis.rsx) The Flow matrix proposed by Runfola and Pontius (2013) (Stable_change_flow_matrix.rsx, Flow_matrix_graf.rsx) Pearson and Spearman correlations (Correlation.rsx) The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) (ROCAnalysis.rsx) The Goodness of Fit (GOF) calculated using the MapCurves method proposed by Hargrove et al. (2006) (MapCurves_raster.rsx, MapCurves_vector.rsx) The spatial distribution of overall, user and producer’s accuracies, obtained through Geographical Weighted Regression methods (Local accuracy assessment statistics.rsx).

Descriptions of all these methods can be found in different chapters of the aforementioned book. The dataset also includes a readme file listing all the scripts provided, detailing their authors and the references on which their methods are based.
