In landscapemetrics: Landscape Metrics for Categorical Map Patterns

MUTINF (landscape level)

Description

Mutual information \[I(y,x)\]

Usage

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

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

It disambiguates landscape pattern types characterize by the same value of an overall complexity (lsm_l_joinent).

Value

tibble
