This function quantifies sources of agreement and disagreement between a
reference map for time 1, a reference map for time 2 and a simulated map for
time 2 to provide meaningful information about the performance of land use
change simulations.
Usage
AgreementBudget(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ThreeMapComparison'
AgreementBudget(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer'
AgreementBudget(x, ...)
Arguments
x
a ThreeMapComparison object or RasterLayer
...
additional arguments to ThreeMapComparison. Only required if x is
not a ThreeMapComparison object
Details
The types of agreement and disagreement considered are those descibed in
Pontius et al. (2011):
Persistence simulated correctly (agreement)
Persistence simulated as change (disagreement)
Change simulated incorrectly (disagreement)
Change simulated correctly (agreement)
Change simulated as persistence (disagreement)
Value
An AgreementBudget object.
