regressiontreemodels have been widely used for remote sensing-based ecosystem mapping. Improper use of the sample data (model training and testing data) may cause overfitting and underfitting effects in the model. The goal of this study is to develop an optimal sampling data usage strategy for any dataset and identify an appropriate number of rules in the regressiontreemodel that will improve its accuracy and robustness. Landsat 8 data and Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer-scaled Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were used to develop regressiontreemodels. A Python procedure was designed to generate random replications of model parameter options across a range ofmodel development data sizes and rule number constraints. The mean absolute difference (MAD) between the predicted and actual NDVI (scaled NDVI, value from 0-200) and its variability across the different randomized replications were calculated to assess the accuracy and stability of the models. In our case study, a six-rule regressiontreemodel developed from 80% of the sample data had the lowest MAD (MAD(training) = 2.5 and MAD(testing) = 2.4), which was suggested as the optimal model. This study demonstrates how the training data and rule number selections impact model accuracy and provides important guidance for future remote-sensing-based ecosystem modeling.
