Density distributions for each Landsat band’s z-scored, relative reflectance value across true (orange) and false (purple) classifications. In general, patterns across true and false classifications were consistent across all three types of models. Oligotrophic lakes tended to be misclassified when red bands were high and blue bands were low. Conversely, eutrophic/mixotrophic lakes tended to be misclassified when blue bands were high, and red bands were low. Dystrophic lakes tended to be misclassified when near infra-red bands were low and when green bands were high.
