Global Feature Separability
This section details the true global mean and standard deviation of each feature across the entire dataset. A larger absolute difference or Cohen's d (effect size) suggests that the feature is a strong discriminator for the segmentation model.

Conclusion: Is it Trainable?
YES.
- Data Integrity: All 607 image pairs are successfully harmonized with identical pixel grids and valid metadata.
- Feature Separability: The dataset exhibits separability in key geomorphological and spectral indices (like NDSI, Elevation, and Slope), quantified by the effect sizes above.
- Class Imbalance: The class imbalance of ~4.5:1 is well within manageable ranges for semantic segmentation using BCE + Dice Loss.
The dataset is fully prepared for PyTorch ingestion and model training.
