mask_random: Mask coordinates using random pertubation

In sdcSpatial: Statistical Disclosure Control for Spatial Data

Mask coordinates using random pertubation

Description

Pertubates points with a uniform pertubation in a circle. Note that r can either be one distance, of a distance per data point.

Usage

mask_random(x, r, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

x	coordinates, matrix or data.frame (first two columns)
r	numeric maximum pertubation distance (vectorized)
plot	if TRUE points will be plotted.

Value

adapted x with perturbed coordinates

Other point pertubation: mask_grid(), mask_voronoi(), mask_weighted_random()

Examples

x <- cbind(
  x = c(2.5, 3.5, 7.2, 1.5),
  y = c(6.2, 3.8, 4.4, 2.1)
)

# plotting is only useful from small datasets!

# grid masking
x_g <- mask_grid(x, r=1, plot=TRUE)

# random pertubation
set.seed(3)
x_r <- mask_random(x, r=1, plot=TRUE)

if (requireNamespace("FNN", quietly = TRUE)){
  # weighted random pertubation
  x_wr <- mask_weighted_random(x, k = 2, r = 4, plot=TRUE)
}

if ( requireNamespace("FNN", quietly = TRUE)
  && requireNamespace("sf", quietly = TRUE)
   ){
  # voronoi masking, plotting needs package `sf`
  x_vor <- mask_voronoi(x, r = 1, plot=TRUE)
}
