Creator	Schoenberg, Rick
Publisher	Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Date Issued	2013-10-22
Description	Some methods for evaluating point process models, coverage process models, and other models for wildfire occurrence and spread will be discussed. Particular focus will be placed on deviance residuals, super-thinned residuals, and Voronoi residuals. Advantages and disadvantages of the different methods will be reviewed, and some related open problems and ways in which wildfire forecasters and statisticians might help one another will be reviewed.
