Urban sprawl in Canada: Values in all 33 Census Metropolitan Areas and corresponding 469 Census Subdivisions between 1991 and 2011
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dataset presented here provides the degree of urban sprawl across 33 Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) in Canada of 2011 together with the 469 Census Subdivisions (CSDs) located within the 2011 boundaries of the CMAs, for the years 1991, 2001, and 2011. The dataset contains the values of weighted urban proliferation (WUP) and weighted sprawl per capita (WSPC) and their components. The landscape-oriented value of WUP indicates how strongly the landscape within the boundaries of a reporting unit is sprawled per square meter, while WSPC is inhabitant-oriented and reveals how much on average an inhabitant or workplace is contributing to urban sprawl in the reporting unit. The values of the components of the WUP and WSPC metrics are provided as well: percentage of built-up area (PBA), urban dispersion (DIS), land uptake per person (LUP), and urban permeation (UP). The values of full-time equivalents for the numbers of jobs, which were considered in the calculation of LUP values (pertaining to the number of inhabitants and jobs) are also included in order to facilitate future research.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
