calculate_correlation function

Calculate correlation

calculate_correlation(
  metrics,
  method = "pearson",
  diag = TRUE,
  simplify = FALSE
)

Arguments

• metrics: Tibble with results of as returned by the landscapemetrics package.
• method: Type of correlation. See link{cor} for details.
• diag: If FALSE, values on the diagonal will be NA.
• simplify: If TRUE and only one level is present, only a tibble is returned.

Returns

list

Details

The functions calculates the correlation between all metrics. In order to calculate correlations, for the landscape level more than one landscape needs to be present. All input must be structured as returned by the landscapemetrics package.

Examples

landscape <- terra::rast(landscapemetrics::landscape)
metrics <- calculate_lsm(landscape, what = c("patch", "class"))
calculate_correlation(metrics, method = "pearson")
