Changing the calculation method

Available with Data Reviewer license.

The statistical calculations during a Positional Accuracy Assessment session can be adjusted by changing the calculation method. You can choose to use either the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) standard or United States Geological Survey (USGS) standard. Each one calculates the values based on the specifications defined by those agencies.

When the calculation method is changed, the statistics are automatically recalculated.

  1. Start a PAAT session.
  2. Click the Show Results button Show Results on the Positional Accuracy Assessment toolbar.
