6 Evaluation Methods

For this chapter we need the following packages:

library(tidyverse)
library(sf)
library(SpatialKWD)
library(knitr)
library(ggthemes)
library(transformr)
library(gganimate)
set.seed(762)

In this section, we will graphically compare the 4 estimators, and see how well they perform against each other. We will measure the performance through the the lens of empirical distributions (ECCDF and ECDF plots), spatial distributions (maps), statistical indicators, and finally with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein Distance.
