Create a FigureOfMerit object
Description
Calculate the figure of merit at different levels and at different resolutions for a reference map at time 1, a reference map at time 2 and a simulated map at time 2.
Usage
FigureOfMerit(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer'
FigureOfMerit(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ThreeMapComparison'
FigureOfMerit(x, ...)
Arguments
x |
a ThreeMapComparison object or RasterLayer |
... |
additional arguments to ThreeMapComparison. Only required if x is not a ThreeMapComparison object |
Details
In land use change modelling the figure of merit is the intersection of observed change and simulated change divided by the union of these, with a range of 0 (perfect disagreement) to 1 (perfect agreement). It is useful to calculate the figure of merit at three levels: (1) considering all possible transitions from all land use categories, (2) considering all transitions from specific land use categories and (3) considering a specific transition from one land use category to another.
Value
A FigureOfMerit object.
