Scorpan model functions (classification and regression trees, random forests, artificial neural networks, etc.)

Introducing new methods and models and modification of the older ones

Exploitation and processing of legacy data

Mapping scale issues, upscaling and downscaling, maps disaggregation; harmonization of maps of different origin
