crossTabulate: Cross tabulate land use transitions

In lulcc: Land Use Change Modelling in R

Description

Cross tabulate land use transitions using raster::crosstab. This step should form the basis of further research into the processes driving the most important transitions in the study region (Pontius et al., 2004).

Usage

crossTabulate(x, y, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer,RasterLayer'
crossTabulate(x, y, categories,
  labels = as.character(categories), ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ObsLulcRasterStack,ANY'
crossTabulate(x, y, times, ...)

Arguments

x	RasterLayer representing land use map from an earlier timestep or an ObsLulcRasterStack object containing at least two land use maps for different points in time
y	RasterLayer representing land use map from a later timestep. Not used if x is an ObsLulcRasterStack object
...	additional arguments to raster::crosstab
categories	numeric vector containing land use categories to consider. Not used if x is an ObsLulcRasterStack object
labels	character vector (optional) with labels corresponding to categories. Not used if x is an ObsLulcRasterStack object
times	numeric vector representing the time points of two land use maps from ObsLulcRasterStack

Value

A data.frame.

Examples

## Plum Island Ecosystems 

## Load observed land use maps
obs <- ObsLulcRasterStack(x=pie,
                   pattern="lu",
                   categories=c(1,2,3),
                   labels=c("forest","built","other"),
                   t=c(0,6,14))

crossTabulate(x=obs, times=c(0,14))

## RasterLayer input
crossTabulate(x=obs[[1]],
              y=obs[[3]],
              categories=c(1,2,3),
              labels=c("forest","built","other"))
