“…Eleven different models were used for this comparison: i.e. CLUE, CLUES-S, Geomod, Environment Explorer, Land Use Scanner, Logistic regression, LTM, SAMADA, SLEUTH (Pontius et al, 2008), Patchlogistic-CA and cell/pixel based logistic-CA (Chen, 2016;Li, Gong, Yu, & Hu, 2017) and SLEUTH (Yin, Kong, Yang, James, & Dronova, 2018). Also, the fuzzy kappa value of SUSM simulation is slightly higher than the reported values in other studies (Long, Han, Lai, & Mao, 2013;Vliet et al, 2009;Wu et al, 2010) (refer to table-2 in supplement).…”
