Appendix D. Sensitivity analysis of discrete wavelet transform on the LEFT output of the Vulnerability layer (Table).
Table D1. Sensitivity analysis of discrete wavelet transform on the LEFT output of the Vulnerability layer. (Upper) Field forecast verification statistics with no offset (right), 50-cell offset (middle), and 100-cell offset (left). Verification statistics in Offset 100 marks the lower bound of verification statistics when accounting for the discretization artefact, suggesting a minor influence of this artefact on the agreement statistics between the two maps. (Lower) Example of changing the mother wavelet, applied to the highest resolution layer (1 × 1 cell, ~0.9 km²). Note that the verification statistics do not change with the selected mother wavelet, suggesting a robust result.
