SHAP beeswarm plot of global feature importance across all 245,967 cells.
Capture-efficiency curves: percentage of gold occurrences captured against percentage of area flagged, for training and withheld occurrences.

Validation

ProtocolAUC

Spatially blocked throughout: each fold removes the held-out occurrence and every other occurrence and background cell within the block radius. Pooled AUC is quoted, which is the more conservative statistic.

Capture efficiency, spatial holdout

Area flaggedOccurrences captured

Measured on the seven withheld occurrences. Against 10% expected by chance at the 10% threshold, this is a 7.1× lift.
