Map Document, Geodatabase and Census Block Error Tables

Includes ESRI ArcMap document, the accompanying ESRI Geodatabase, the toolkit for the models used in the analysis, and the error tables generated.<br>The error tables are by Census Block for each tested method as well as the calculated grouped error statistics.<br>Our study area focuses on New York City, which provides a data-rich urban environment with extreme variations in local population density and diverse types of input data in which to construct multiple methods. In this study area we can then compare the efficacy of multiple methodologies, which employ a strong binary mask paired with a density variable directly derived from the binary mask. We test the following methodologies:1. Land areas binary mask2. Building footprint binary mask3. Building footprint binary mask and area density variable4. Building footprints binary mask and volume density variable5. Residential building footprint binary mask6. Residential building footprint binary mask and area density variable7. Residential building footprint binary mask and volume density variable
