opgd: optimal parameters-based geographical detector(OPGD) model

Description

optimal parameters-based geographical detector(OPGD) model

Usage

opgd(
  formula,
  data,
  discvar = NULL,
  discnum = 3:8,
  discmethod = c("sd", "equal", "geometric", "quantile", "natural"),
  cores = 1,
  type = "factor",
  alpha = 0.95,
  ...
)

Value

A list.

opt_param

optimal discretization parameter

factor

the result of factor detector

interaction

the result of interaction detector

risk

the result of risk detector

ecological

the result of ecological detector

Arguments

formula

A formula of OPGD model.

data

A data.frame, tibble or sf object of observation data.

discvar

Name of continuous variable columns that need to be discretized. Noted that when formula has discvar, data must have these columns. By default, all independent variables are used as discvar.

discnum

(optional) A vector of number of classes for discretization. Default is 3:8.

discmethod

(optional) A vector of methods for discretization, default is using c("sd","equal","geometric","quantile","natural") by invoking sdsfun.

cores

(optional) Positive integer (default is 1). When cores are greater than 1, use multi-core parallel computing.

type

(optional) The type of geographical detector, which must be factor(default), interaction, risk, ecological. You can run one or more types at one time.

alpha

(optional) Specifies the size of confidence level. Default is 0.95.

...

(optional) Other arguments passed to gd_optunidisc(). A useful parameter is seed, which is used to set the random number seed.
