LmaSpatialComparison

Description

This function takes as input the shapefiles of two distinct sets of LMAs (on the same territory) and produces statistics to compare them.

Usage

LmaSpatialComparison(shape,shape_ref,lma.id="LMA")

Arguments

shape	Shapefile of the output of an LMA delineation process (sf object).
shape_ref	Shapefile of the output of an LMA delineation process (sf object).
lma.id	Column name of the column registering the LMA (the same in both shape files).

Value

The output is a data.table with statistics on the comparison of the two shapefiles.

Each row represents an association between an LMA in the shape partition (first argument) and an unique LMA in the shape_ref partition (second argument).

The output columns are as follows:

shape_lma	ID of the LMA unit in the shape partition (first argument)
shape_ref_lma	ID of the LMA unita in the shape_ref partition (second argument)
area_intersection	area of the intersection of the two LMA units
shape_area	area of the LMA unit in the shape partition (first argument)
shape_ref_area	area of the associated LMA unit is the shape_ref partition (second argument)
shape_EMP_live	number of employees living in the LMA unit is the shape partition
shape_EMP_work	number of employees working in the LMA unit in the shape partition
shape_ref_EMP_live	number of employees living in the LMA unit is the shape_ref partition
shape_ref_EMP_work	number of employees working in the LMA unit in the shape_ref partition
perc_intersection_shape	percentage of the intersection area over the area of the LMA unit in the shape partition
perc_intersection_shape_ref	percentage of the intersection area over the area of the LMA unit in the shape_ref partition
