get_complexity function

get_complexity

Calculate complexity of the landscape

get_complexity(landscape_mat, neighbourhood, ordered, base)

Arguments

• landscape_mat: A matrix object
• 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).
• base: The unit in which entropy is measured. The default is "log2",

Returns

matrix

Details

Calculate complexity of the landscape: entropy of the co-occurrence matrix

Examples

landscape <- terra::rast(landscapemetrics::landscape)
landscape_mat <- terra::as.matrix(landscape, wide = TRUE)
get_complexity(landscape_mat, neighbourhood = 4, ordered = TRUE, base = "log2")
