overall_suit: Overall Suitability Scores/Class of the Land Units

In ALUES: Agricultural Land Use Evaluation System

Description

This function computes the overall suitability scores and class of the land units.

Usage

overall_suit(suit, method = NULL, interval = NULL)

Arguments

suit	an object of class suitability.
method	a character for the method for computing the overall suitability, choices are: "minimum", "maximum", and "average". If NULL, method is set to "minimum".
interval	if NULL, the interval of the suitability class are the following: 0% - 25% (Not suitable, N), 25% - 50% (Marginally Suitable, S3), 50% - 75% (Moderately Suitable, S2), and 75% - 100% (Highly Suitable, S1). But users can assign custom intervals by specifying the values of the end points of the intervals. Say for intervals: 0% - 20% (Not suitable, N), 20% - 50% (Marginally Suitable, S3), 50% - 80% (Moderately Suitable, S2), and 80% - 100% (Highly Suitable, S1), is equivalent to interval = c(0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1).

Value

A data frame with columns:

• Score - the overall suitability scores

• Class - the overall suitability classes

# Water Overall Suitability
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "average"))
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "maximum"))
head(overall_suit(out[["water"]], "average", c(0, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6, 1.0)))

# Temperature Overall Suitability
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "average"))
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "maximum"))
head(overall_suit(out[["temp"]], "average", c(0, 0.3, 0.35, 0.6, 1.0)))
