Select "Validation->Type Validation->Point List vs. Point List", you can validate inference by using two point list files, one of which recorded observed values and another of which records inferred results for field locations visited.
The observed point list file contains information about the samples locations. The observed point list file has the following format:
PointID X Y ObservedSoilName
index1 X1 Y1 ObservedsoilName1
index2 X2 Y2 ObservedsoilName2
......
The first row contains the column headings and PointID contains the IDs assigned to the sample points. Xs and Ys are the samples coordinates. ObservedSoilName contains the observed soil names at sample locations.
The inferred point list file contains information about the inferred results at samples locations. An inferred point list file has the following format:
PointID X Y InferredSoilName
index1 X1 Y1 InferredsoilName1
index2 X2 Y2 InferredsoilName2
......
The first row contains the column headings and PointID contains the IDs assigned to the sample points. Xs and Ys are the samples coordinates. InferredSoilName contains the inferred soil names at sample locations.
The numbers and orders of points in observed point list file and inferred point list file should be identical.
The outputs of this function include an error matrix file, an accuracy report file and a mismatch list file. The name of three files share the same prefix which is chosen by users, but they have different suffix. For example, if you choose "c:\validation" as the validation result file. SoLIM Solutions will create "c:\validation_Matrix.csv", "c:\validation_Report.txt" and "c:\validation_Mismatch.csv" for you.
