vm_p_coh(landscape, class_col = NULL, patch_col = NULL, n = 1000)

Arguments

landscape

the input landscape image,

class_col

the name of the class column of the input landscape

patch_col

the name of the id column of the input landscape

n

number of grid points to generate

Value

the function returns tibble with the calculated values in column "value", this function returns also some important information such as level, class, patch id and metric name.

Details

ratio of the average distance-squared among all points in an equal-area circle and the average distance-squared among all points in the shape
