Model 1: base

Analysis Master 21-07-2026

The first and simplest model: the four scores, each with one weight shared by all place types.

\[V_k = w_1 f_\text{distribution} + w_2 f_\text{distance} + w_3 f_\text{temporal} + w_4 f_\text{directional}\]

Tested with two search distances, 10 m and 15 m:

R=10 m R=15 m
LL(C) / LL(b) -0.9362 / -0.9745 -0.9985 / -1.0360
ρ² vs LL(C) -0.041 -0.038
Accuracy 0.518 0.509
Building / street / open space 0.576 / 0.378 / 0.492 0.589 / 0.346 / 0.445
CV accuracy (grouped) 0.514 ± 0.089 0.512 ± 0.098
Condition number 36 26
Term (R=10 m) w t VIF
f_distribution +3.331 5.34 7.14
f_distance -0.467 -1.14 3.73
f_temporal +0.179 0.29 7.49
f_directional -0.080 -0.41 2.78
  • Worse than a simple baseline. ρ² is negative, so this model does worse than just knowing how common each type is. No value of α fixes this (Alpha calibration).
  • Only f_distribution is significant at both distances. f_temporal moves almost the same way as f_distribution (r ≈ 0.88), so it was removed.
  • f_distance has a negative weight at 10 m (-0.47) and a positive one at 15 m (+0.95). This had to wait until α was tuned.
  • The condition number is low, so the fit itself is stable. The problem is which inputs the model has, not the fitting.
