The coefficient of variation of Ratios between the patch area and the smallest circumscribing circle of all patches at class level(vector data)

This function allows you to calculate the coefficient of variation of ratios of each class in a categorical landscape in vector data format the ratio is the patch area relative to area of the smallest circumscribing circle of the patch

vm_c_circle_cv(landscape, class_col)

Arguments

landscape

the input landscape image,

class_col

the name of the class column of the input landscape

Value

the returned calculated coefficient of variation in each class is in column "value", and this function returns also some important information such as level, class number and metric name. Moreover, the "id" column, although it is just NA here at class level. we need it because the output struture of metrics at class level should correspond to patch level one by one, and then it is more convinient to combine metric values at different levels and compare them.

Examples

vm_c_circle_cv(vector_landscape, "class")
#> # A tibble: 3 × 5
#>   level class id    metric    value
#>   <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>     <dbl>
#> 1 class 1     NA    circle_cv    NA
#> 2 class 2     NA    circle_cv    NA
#> 3 class 3     NA    circle_cv    NA
