Common use of Results Synthesis Clause in Contracts

Results Synthesis. The table below (Table 1) summarizes the results of the pilot project. The Root Means Square Error (RMSE) estimates the deviation of the actual y-values from the regression line. Red squares indicate metrics which were not undertaken due to poor evidence of remote sensing methods capable of such modeling (in case of species) and the prohibitive costs of collecting age field data needed to develop the models (tree coring). Yellow cells indicate that the accuracy assessments for the models was not feasible due to lack of field data. Figure 1 shows a general graphic of the LiDAR models derived for the Mashel study area.
