Leave-one-disc-out cross-validation and leave-one-out cross-validation

Description

partition_disc partitions the sample into training and tests set by selecting circular test areas (possibly surrounded by an exclusion buffer) and using the remaining samples as training samples (leave-one-disc-out cross-validation). partition_loo creates training and test sets for leave-one-out cross-validation with (optional) buffer.

Usage

partition_disc(
  data,
  coords = c("x", "y"),
  radius,
  buffer = 0,
  ndisc = nrow(data),
  seed1 = NULL,
  return_train = TRUE,
  prob = NULL,
  replace = FALSE,
  repetition = 1
)

partition_loo(data, ndisc = nrow(data), replace = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

data	data.frame containing at least the columns specified by coords
coords	vector of length 2 defining the variables in data that contain the x and y coordinates of sample locations.
radius	radius of test area discs; performs leave-one-out resampling if radius <0.
buffer	radius of additional 'neutral area' around test area discs that is excluded from training and test sets; defaults to 0, i.e. all samples are either in the test area or in the training area.
ndisc	Number of discs to be randomly selected; each disc constitutes a separate test set. Defaults to nrow(data), i.e. one disc around each sample.
seed1	seed1+i is the random seed that will be used by set.seed in repetition i (i in repetition) to initialize the random number generator before sampling from the data set.
return_train	If FALSE, returns only test sample; if TRUE, also the training area.
prob	optional argument to sample.
replace	optional argument to sample: sampling with or without replacement?
repetition	see partition_cv; however, see Note below: repetition should normally be = 1 in this function.
...	arguments to be passed to partition_disc

Value

A represampling object. Contains length(repetition) resampling objects. Each of these contains ndisc lists with indices of test and (if return_train = TRUE) training sets.

Note

Test area discs are centered at (random) samples, not at general random locations. Test area discs may (and likely will) overlap independently of the value of replace. replace only controls the replacement of the center point of discs when drawing center points from the samples.

radius < 0 does leave-one-out resampling with an optional buffer. radius = 0 is similar except that samples with identical coordinates would fall within the test area disc.

Examples

data(ecuador)
parti <- partition_disc(ecuador,
  radius = 200, buffer = 200,
  ndisc = 5, repetition = 1:2
)
# plot(parti,ecuador)
summary(parti)

# leave-one-out with buffer:
parti.loo <- partition_loo(ecuador, buffer = 200)
summary(parti)
