Largest patch index (Area and Edge metric)
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions)# S3 method for RasterLayer
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for RasterStack
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for RasterBrick
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for stars
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for list
lsm_c_lpi(landscape, directions = 8)
Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick or a list of rasterLayers.
The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).

$$LPI = \frac{\max \limits_{j = 1}^{n} (a_{ij})} {A} * 100$$ where \(max(a_{ij})\) is the area of the patch in square meters and \(A\) is the total landscape area in square meters.
The largest patch index is an 'Area and edge metric'. It is the percentage of the landscape covered by the corresponding largest patch of each class i. It is a simple measure of dominance.
