forest_ai/deforestation/alos_trend_detection

Detects increase/decrease trends in forest pixel levels over the user-input geometry and time range for the ALOS forest map. This workflow combines the alos_forest_extent_download_merge and ordinal_trend_detection workflows to detect increase/decrease trends in the forest pixel levels over the user-provided geometry and time range for the ALOS forest map. The ALOS PALSAR 2.1 Forest/Non-Forest Maps are downloaded in the alos_forest_extent_download_merge workflow. Then the ordinal_trend_detection workflow clips the ordinal raster to the user-provided geometry and time range and determines if there is an increasing or decreasing trend in the forest pixel levels over them. alos_trend_detection uses the Cochran-Armitage test to detect trends in the forest levels over the years. The null hypothesis is that there is no trend in the pixel levels over the list of rasters. The alternative hypothesis is that there is a trend in the forest pixel levels over the list of rasters (one for each year). It returns a p-value and a z-score. If the p-value is less than some significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. If the z-score is positive, the trend is increasing. If the z-score is negative, the trend is decreasing.
