membership: Standardize the indices by membership functional models

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

Description

Obtained indices always can not be used to evaluate the forest health because the indices with different dimension. And three membership functional models were thus used to standardize these indices,

Usage

1
membership(mode = c("up", "down", "mid"), X, L, U, O1, O2)

Arguments

mode

Three membership functional models were thus used to standardize these indices, which are up mode, down mode, and middle mode, respectively. For the up mode, a higher value is better; for the down mode, lower is better; for the middle mode, which have an effective range.

X

The actual observed value of indices

L

Lower limit of the indices

U

Upper limit of the indices

O1

O1 and O2 are the effective range of the indices

O2

O1 and O2 are the effective range of the indices.

Value

Standardized the indices by membership functional models
