landscapemetrics (version 2.1.4)

lsm_l_mutinf: MUTINF (landscape level)

Description

Mutual information \[I(y,x)\]

Usage

lsm_l_mutinf(landscape, neighbourhood = 4, ordered = TRUE, base = "log2")

Value

tibble

Arguments

landscape

A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.

neighbourhood

The number of directions in which cell adjacencies are considered as neighbours: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case). The default is 4.

ordered

The type of pairs considered. Either ordered (TRUE) or unordered (FALSE). The default is TRUE.

base

The unit in which entropy is measured. The default is "log2", which compute entropy in "bits". "log" and "log10" can be also used.

Details

It disambiguates landscape pattern types characterize by the same value of an overall complexity (lsm_l_joinent).
