In NINAnor/oneimpact: Tools for the assessment of the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic features in ecological studies

Plot the functions for the nearest and cumulative zone of influence in 1 dimension

Description

Plots the functions to represent the zone of influence (ZOI) in 1 dimensional space, for illustration. When there is more than one value for points (the location of infrastructure or sources of disturbance), two metrics might be plotted: the ZOI of the nearest feature or the cumulative ZOI. The ZOI of the nearest feature corresponds to the maximum ZOI value from all infrastructure at each position. The cumulative ZOI corresponds to the sum of the ZOI of all infrastructure at each position.

Usage

plot_zoi1d(
  points,
  radius,
  fun = exp_decay,
  zoi_metric = c("nearest", "cumulative")[1],
  range_plot = c(0, 12),
  step = 0.01,
  na.rm = TRUE,
  return_df = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

points	⁠[numeric]⁠ Vector of values in the x axis where the infrastructure are located, in 1 dimension (more broadly, the location of sources of disturbance or spatial variables, or the point of origin of the ZOI functions).
radius	⁠[numeric(1)]⁠ Radius of the zone of influence (ZOI), the distance at which the ZOI vanishes or goes below a given minimum limit value. See zoi_functions for details.
fun	⁠[function]⁠ A decay function that represents the Zone of Influence (ZOI). Different functions might represent different shapes for the decay of the ZOI. See zoi_functions for some examples.
zoi_metric	⁠[character(1)="nearest"]{"nearest", "cumulative"}⁠ Which metric of zone of influence should be plotted. If "nearest"(default), the ZOI of the nearest feature is plotted. If "cumulative", the cumulative ZOI is plotted.
range_plot	⁠[numeric(2)=c(0,12)]⁠ A vector c(xmin, xmax) with the x range of the ZOI plot.
step	⁠[numeric(1)=0.01]⁠ Size of the step increment used to define the series of x positions for which the ZOI is computed, within the x range defined by range_plot.
na.rm	⁠[logical(1)=TRUE]⁠ Should NA values be removed when computing either the sum (for the cumulative ZOI) or the maximum (for the ZOI of the nearest feature)?
return_df	⁠[logical(1)=FALSE]⁠ If TRUE, a data.frame with x values and their corresponding ZOI values is returned, besides the plot.
...	Additional parameters passed to the ZOI decay function fun.

Details

In practice, the plot_zoi1d() computes the ZOI value for each feature whose locations in 1 dimension are defined by points and calculates the maximum (ZOI of the nearest) or sum (cumulative ZOI) of all values. This is done for a series of points in 1 dimensional space in the range range_plot (with steps defined by step) and plotted.

To add: options for normalization, prob etc.

Value

A ggplot object with the nearest or cumulative influence plot. If return_df = TRUE, it returns a list with the ggplot object and a data.frame with values for x (position in 1d space) and y (ZOI value).

Examples

# one point, exponential decay
plot_zoi1d(0, radius = 3, zoi_limit = 0.05,
           fun = exp_decay, range_plot = c(0, 5), zoi_metric = "nearest")

# exponential decay
points <- c(0, 4.5, 7, 7.5)
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = exp_decay, range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "nearest")
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = exp_decay, range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "cumulative")

# threshold
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = threshold_decay, range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "nearest")
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = "step_decay", range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "cumulative")

# linear
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = bartlett_decay, range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "nearest")
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = "linear_decay", range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "cumulative")

# gaussian
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = gaussian_decay, range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "nearest")
plot_zoi1d(points, radius = 3, fun = "half_norm_decay", range_plot = c(0, 12),
           zoi_metric = "cumulative", return_df = TRUE) # also return the data.frame
