Using a hybrid demand-allocation algorithm to enable distributional analysis of land use change patterns
Fig 3
The conterminous United States (CONUS) was partitioned into 10 groupings of similar land use patterns for purposes of transition probability modeling. The groupings were derived from a k-means cluster analysis based on per-county land use distribution, elevation and slope, population and income, and geographic location. County feature data is freely available upon request from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis program (https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php).
