NLMR (version 1.0)

nlm_mosaictess: nlm_mosaictess

Description

Simulate a neutral landscape model using the tesselation approach introduced in Gaucherel (2008).

Usage

nlm_mosaictess(ncol, nrow, resolution = 1, germs, rescale = TRUE)

Arguments

ncol

[numerical(1)] Number of columns forming the raster.

nrow

[numerical(1)] Number of rows forming the raster.

resolution

[numerical(1)] Resolution of the raster.

germs

[numerical(1)] Intensity parameter (non-negative integer).

rescale

[logical(1)] If TRUE (default), the values are rescaled between 0-1.

Value

RasterLayer

Details

nlm_mosaictess offers the first option of simulating a neutral landscape model described in Gaucherel (2008). It generates a random point pattern (germs) with an independent distribution and uses the Voronoi tessellation to simulate mosaic landscapes.
