lsm_c_shape_cv: SHAPE_CV (class level)

Description

Covariance of variation shape index (Shape metric)

Usage

lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions)
# S3 method for RasterLayer
lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for RasterStack
lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for RasterBrick
lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for stars
lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions = 8)
# S3 method for list
lsm_c_shape_cv(landscape, directions = 8)

Arguments

landscape

Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick or a list of rasterLayers.

directions

The number of directions in which patches should be connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).

Value

tibble

Details

$$SHAPE_{CV} = cv(SHAPE[patch_{ij}])$$ where \(SHAPE[patch_{ij}]\) is the shape index of each patch.

SHAPE_CV is a 'Shape metric'. Each class is summarised as the Coefficient of variation of each patch belonging to class i. SHAPE describes the ratio between the actual perimeter of the patch and the hypothetical minimum perimeter of the patch. The minimum perimeter equals the perimeter if the patch would be maximally compact.

Units

None

Range

SHAPE_CV >= 0

Behaviour

Equals SHAPE_CV = 0 if all patches have an identical shape index. Increases, without limit, as the variation of the shape index increases.
