calculate_representation: Compare sample representation within sraster strata

In tgoodbody/sgsR: Structurally Guided Sampling

Compare sample representation within sraster strata

Description

Compare sample representation within sraster strata

Usage

calculate_representation(sraster, existing, drop = NULL, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

sraster	spatRaster. Stratification raster.
existing	sf 'POINT'. Existing plot network.
drop	Numeric. Numeric value between 0-1 representing the sraster frequency (srasterFreq) below which strata will be dropped from comparison (e.g.. This parameter can be useful for when comparing stratum where percent coverage of strata may be ~ 0 percent and should be dropped. This could occur when mapping multiple stratifications.
plot	Logical. Plot frequency of strata coverage and sampling coverage for sraster and existing. Will return a list if TRUE.

Details

Calculate how sraster strata are represented in existing samples

Value

Returns a tibble where:

• strata - sraster strata ID.

• srasterFreq - sraster coverage frequency.

• sampleFreq - Sampling frequency within sraster strata.

• diffFreq - Difference between srasterFreq & sampleFreq. Positive values indicate over representation.

• nSamp - Number of samples within each strata in existing.

• need - srasterFreq * sum(nSamp). Total theoretical number of required samples to be representative of strata coverage. This values is rounded. It is important for the user to consider diffFreq. A small difference - e.g. 1 in sampleFreq vs. srasterFreq frequency could make the algorithm allocate or remove samples that could likely be ignored.

Examples

### --- generate example stratification ---###

#--- load ALS metrics from sgsR internal data ---#
r <- system.file("extdata", "mraster.tif", package = "sgsR")

#--- read ALS metrics using the terra package ---#
mraster <- terra::rast(r)

#--- perform stratification ---#
sraster <- strat_kmeans(
  mraster = mraster$zq90,
  nStrata = 6
)

### --- create existing sample network ---###

#--- simple random sampling ---#
existing <- sample_srs(
  raster = mraster$zq90,
  nSamp = 100
)

#--- calculate representation ---#

calculate_representation(
  sraster = sraster,
  existing = existing
)
