Quality
These data have a combined total accuracy of 81.6% (confidence interval 75.5%
- 86.0%). Individual class accuracies range from 44.4 % to 100% in both errors of commission and omission. All data that can be photo-interpreted is also digitized. This includes features that fall into the NVCS vegetation classification and the Anderson Level II classification. Minimum mapping unit is ostensibly .5 hectares but some low frequency classes below the MMU are included.
