Simulation fitting results summary.

The error column reports the sum of squared residuals over the spatial entropy for each land use type and dissimilarity indexes between the actual city map and best-fit reconstructed maps. The base column details the fitted results using the constrained models and a random uniform distribution of the land use sectors throughout the city maps. Thus the base column reports controlled experimental results which highlight the differences when no dispersion and aggregation mechanisms are implemented. The above result shows that the model reported is three orders of magnitude statistically more accurate than a random growth model.
