Random Forest model output prediction raster for the occurrence of Fe-Mn in the World Oceans

The raster provide the output of a machine-learning random forest algorithm modelling the occurrence of ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crust deposits in the world ocean. This raster constitutes a data-driven approach for mineral prospectivity mapping of Fe-Mn crusts that should be used in conjunction with other expert-driven prospectivity analysis to guide the assessment of Fe-Mn crust coverage in the world ocean and potential mineral exploration. The raster contains values between 0.07 and 0.92. Any values outside of that range (e.g., 0) are outside of the model prediction and should not be displayed. To reproduce data as displayed in the forthcoming associated publication, it is recommended to apply a 'Percent Clip' stretched 'Viridis' colour scheme.

Statement
The raster dataset correspond to the output of a random-forest algorithm data classification. The model uses a set of known locations for deposit and non-deposit samples to fingerprint the geospatial signature of each class against a range of environmental and geological variables, also referred to as predictors. The multivariate geospatial signature of each pixel covered by all predictors is then used to predict the likelihood of occurrence of the target class. This prediction takes the form of a raster data set with value between 0 and 1 marking the confidence in the prediction of the target class.
