modelValues: NDVI modelling

In phenex: Auxiliary Functions for Phenological Data Analysis

Description

Models NDVI values.

Usage

modelValues(x, method, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class ‘NDVI’ containing raw and/or corrected NDVI values.
method	Determines which model will be fitted to the corrected NDVI-timeserie (if the corrected timeserie is not available, the raw one out of ‘values’ will be used). “LinIP”: A linear interpolation is performed. For interpolation, the end of timeserie is connected to the beginning (e.g. after day 365 follows day 1). Applied in Badeck et. al (2004) and Doktor et. al (2009). “Spline”: A spline interpolation is performed. For interpolation, the end of timeserie is connected to the beginning (e.g. after day 365 follows day 1). “DSig”: Fits a double sigmoidal function to NDVI values (according to Zhang et. al (2003)). “DSigC”: Fits another double sigmoidal function (own C implementation) to NDVI values. “DLogistic”: Fits a double logistic function after Fischer, Alberte (1994) to NDVI values. “Gauss”: Fits a symmetric or asymmetric (determined by boolean parameter ‘asym’) gaussian function (own C implementation after Press, W.H. (1992)) to NDVI values. “Growth”: Fits a growth model after Richter et. al (1991) to NDVI values. “FFT”: Smoothes the corrected or raw NDVI values with fast fourier transfusion (implemented in R). The smoothing intensity can be controlled with parameter ‘filter.threshold’ with default to 3. “SavGol”: Smoothes the corrected or raw NDVI values with a Savitzky-Golay filter (own C implementation after Press, W.H. (1992)). The smoothing algorithm can be modified with parameters ‘window’ (window size of filter, default to 7), ‘degree’ (degree of fitting polynomial, default to 2) and ‘smoothing’ (repetition quantity, default to 10).
...	Other parameters passed to modelling function. ‘asym’ for method “Gauss”, ‘filter.threshold’ for method “FFT” and ‘degree’, ‘window’ and ‘smoothing’ for method “SavGol”.
