DoU_get_grid_parameters: Get the parameters for the DEGURBA grid cell classification

Description

The argument parameter of the function DoU_classify_grid() allows to adapt the standard specifications in the Degree of Urbanisation in order to construct an alternative version of the grid classification. This function returns a named list with the standard parameters.

Usage

DoU_get_grid_parameters(level1 = TRUE)

Value

named list with the standard parameters

Arguments

level1

logical. Whether to return the standard parameters of level 1 of the Degree of Urbanisation (TRUE), or level 2 of the Degree of Urbanisation (FALSE).

Examples

# example on how to employ the function to construct
# an alternative version of the grid classification:
# get the standard parameters
parameters <- DoU_get_grid_parameters()

# adapt the standard parameters
parameters$UCL_density_threshold <- 500
parameters$UCL_size_threshold <- 6000
parameters$UCL_smooth_pop <- TRUE
parameters$UCL_smooth_pop_window <- 7

# load the data
grid_data <- DoU_load_grid_data_belgium()

# use the adapted parameters to construct a grid cell classification
classification <- DoU_classify_grid(
  data = grid_data,
  parameters = parameters
)
