Changing the calculation method

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.
