Performance of the Filling index Procedure to identify
polygon-shaped patterns
The filling index procedure classified correctly 100% of polygon-shaped
simulated plots. Its performance remained stable when applied to
different sample sizes and using different grid resolutions. Likewise,
the filling index procedure classified correctly an average 97% of
line-shaped simulated plots with larger sample sizes, but showed a poor
performance with smaller sample sizes (see Appendix S6 for details).
