Figure 5. A comparison of all sampling techniques: (a) chequerboard holdout: training points (black grid) and testing points (white grid); (b) spatial k-fold with dead-zone radii: yellow points are removed from the training set; (c) blue points are the training set and brown points are the test set, spatial K = 1; (d) blue points are the training set and brown points are the test set, spatial K = 2; (e) blue points are the training set and brown points are the test set, standard K = 1; and (f) blue points are the training set and brown points are the test set, standard K = 2.
