adj_mat: adj_mat: Function to compute the adjacency matrix of an area.

Description

Creates an adjacency matrix of an area of interest. This could be the accessible area (M) of a species or any geographic region of interest.

Usage

adj_mat(modelsparse, ngbs = 1, eigen_sys = FALSE, which_eigs = 1)

Value

Returns an object of class setM with 7 slots. The first contains the adjacency matrix. A n x n sparse matrix (n=number of non-NA cells of the niche model) where connected cells are represented by 1. The second slot has the adjacency list. It is a list of matrices with four columns (FromRasCell -from cell ID of the raster-, -to cell ID of the raster-, -from non-NA cell-, -to non-NA cell-). Other slots contain information about initial coordinates where dispersal occurs (initial_points), number of cells used to define the neighborhood (ngbs), non-NA coordinates (coordinates), and a matrix of eigen vectors (eigen_vec).

Arguments

modelsparse

A setA object returned by the function model2sparse.

ngbs

Numeric. Number of neighbors (see details).

eigen_sys

Logical. If TRUE the eigen analyses of the adjacency matrix will be returned.

which_eigs

Numeric. Which eigen value and eigen vector will be returned.

Details

The model is a raster object of the area where the dispersal process will occur. The number of neighbors depends on the dispersal abilities of the species and the spatial resolution of the niche model; for example, a species's with big dispersal abilities will move throughout more than 1 km^2 per day, so the idea is to give an approximate number of moving neighbors (pixels) per unit of time. For more information about see adjacency matrices in the context of the theory of area of distribution (Soberon and Osorio-Olvera, 2022).
