Sampling Strategy
Rather than using random samples, regional
samples are used
These make more sense because one
underlying assumption of spatial econometrics
is that distance matters
25 samples used each 400 400 cells
16 Samples in one layer
9 samples in other layer

Region Combination Strategy
Each cell is part of two samples, allowing the
ability to coordinate model results to create
more robust projections:

Model Forms/Results
Two variables modeled: Population and % of
urban land cover
ln(Population) used to ensure results > 0
% land cover contained in [0,1], so regress
implying
Same independent variables from older
estimations used
Comparing model results with older
estimations shows them to be similar, with
expected regional differences

Conclusions
Using smarter sampling strategies can vastly
improve model performance while maintaining
similar level of computational effort
Models discussed here now show promise for
real world applications
Extending predictions beyond time span of
original model can lead to problematic results
How to combine samples is an area that could
warrant further research
Thank You!
