landscapemetrics (version 2.1.1)

lsm_l_joinent: JOINENT (landscape level)

Description

Joint entropy \[H(x, y)\]

Usage

lsm_l_joinent(landscape, neighbourhood = 4, ordered = TRUE, base = "log2")

Value

tibble

Arguments

landscape

A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.

neighbourhood

The number of directions in which cell adjacencies are considered as neighbours: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case). The default is 4.

ordered

The type of pairs considered. Either ordered (TRUE) or unordered (FALSE). The default is TRUE.

base

The unit in which entropy is measured. The default is "log2", which compute entropy in "bits". "log" and "log10" can be also used.

Details

Complexity of a landscape pattern. An overall spatio-thematic complexity metric.
