Table 4:
Optimal allocation of sample size across fire activity strata calculated using the 2008 MODIS active fire and burned area products. Optimal allocations for the Overall Accuracy (OPTOA), Commission Error (OPTCE), Omission Error (OPTOE), and Total Burned Area (OPTBA) are shown as percentages of the sample size allocated to the high fire activity stratum of each biome.
| Biome | Percentage of the sample allocated to the high fire activity and low fire activity stratum (in brackets) of each biome. |
