Regression Analysis and Comparison of Economic Parameters with Different Light Index Models under Various Constraints

Economic globalization is developing more rapidly than ever before. At the same time, economic growth is accompanied by energy consumption and carbon emissions, so it is particularly important to estimate, analyze and evaluate the economy accurately. We compared different nighttime light (<i>N...

Regression Analysis and Comparison of Economic Parameters with Different Light Index Models under Various Constraints
description Economic globalization is developing more rapidly than ever before. At the same time, economic growth is accompanied by energy consumption and carbon emissions, so it is particularly important to estimate, analyze and evaluate the economy accurately. We compared different nighttime light (<i>NTL</i>) index models with various constraint conditions and analyzed their relationships with economic parameters by linear correlation. In this study, three indices were selected, including original <i>NTL</i>, improved impervious surface index (<i>IISI</i>) and vegetation highlights nighttime-light index (<i>VHNI</i>). In the meantime, all indices were built in a linear regression relationship with gross domestic product (GDP), employed population and power consumption in southeast China.
