High resolution data“targets” • Timing – as close as possible special consideration for composite products • Resolution – to allow integration with field measurements • Viewing geometry – to match product or cover viewing range of product • Spectral – as close as possible or over sampled (i.e.hyperspectral) • Geocoding – as close as possible

Correlative Analysis:Issues • Typical inference is based on a null hypothesis of “no correlation” (i.e. correlation = 0, regression slope term = 0) • Inference on correlation assume, among other things, independent data • Correlation and R2 alone do not tell the whole story • Regression analysis includes several assumptions • Subset size and location will influence results

Preliminary analysis Histograms: General agreement between ETM+ and MODIS AVHRR, somewhat lower Variability decreases with spatial averaging
Variogram Maps • Semi-variograms in 2-D • allows visual inspection of Anisotropy • 1-D semivariograms canbe extracted

Checking Regression assumptions • Linearity (plot resids vs independent variable) • Constant Variance (plot resids vs fitted values) • Independence (plot residuals in space) • Outliers (examine residuals) • Normally distributed error term (goodness of fit test on residuals) • Independent terms missing from model (from Neter et al., “Applied Linear Regression Models”)

Conclusion from correlative analysis • Regression analysis and the joint confidence intervals on the slope and intercept terms provide a meaningful summary for validation analysis. • In comparing two coarse resolution products, the comparison should be made with both products at the same resolution. • Here, the daily MODIS product is the most directly related to the averaged ETM+ data; which implies the importance of considering temporal composite issues. • Subset location and size have an affect on the regression parameters. For this area, a 10km subset provided a stable subset size. • These statistical methods can be directly applied to comparing high and coarse resolution LAI products.
