MINDEX_SP: The Multipoint Morisita Index for Spatial Patterns

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

View source: R/MINDEX_SP.R

Description

Computes the multipoint Morisita index for spatial patterns (i.e. 2-dimensional patterns).

Usage

1
MINDEX_SP(X, scaleQ=1:5, mMin=2, mMax=5, Wlim_x=NULL, Wlim_y=NULL)

Arguments

X

A N x 2 matrix, data.frame or data.table containing the X and Y coordinates of N data points. The X coordinates must be given in the first column and the Y coordinates in the second column.

scaleQ

Either a single value or a vector. It contains the value(s) of Q^(1/2) chosen by the user where Q is the number of cells (or quadrats) of the 2D grid (by default: scaleQ = 1:5).

mMin

The minimum value of m (by default: mMin = 2).

mMax

The maximum value of m (by default: mMax = 5).

Wlim_x

A vector controlling the spatial extent of the 2D gird along the X axis. It consists of two real values, i.e. Wlim_x <- c(a,b) where b > a (by default: Wlim_x <- c(min(X[,1]),max(X[,1]))).

Wlim_y

A vector controlling the spatial extent of the 2D gird along the Y axis. It consists of two real values, i.e. Wlim_y <- c(a,b) where b > a (by default: Wlim_y <- c(min(X[,2]),max(X[,2]))).

Details

  1. Q^(1/2) is the number of grid cells (or quadrats) along each of the two axes.

  2. Q^(1/2) is directly related to delta (see References).

  3. delta is the diagonal length of the grid cells.

Value

A data.frame containing the value of the m-Morisita index for each value of delta and m.
