segregate function

segregate

Create a SpatRaster with a layer for each class (value, or subset of the values) in the input SpatRaster. For example, if the input has vegetation types, this function will create a layer (presence/absence; dummy variable) for each of these classes.

This is called "one-hot encoding" or "dummy encoding" (for a dummy encoding scheme you can remove (any) one of the output layers as it is redundant). methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
segregate(x, classes=NULL, keep=FALSE, other=0, round=FALSE, digits=0, filename="", ...)

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster
• classes: numeric. The values (classes) for which layers should be made. If NULL all classes are used
• keep: logical. If TRUE, cells that are of the class represented by a layer get that value, rather than a value of 1
• other: numeric. Value to assign to cells that are not of the class represented by a layer
• round: logical. Should the values be rounded first?
• digits: integer. Number of digits to round the values to
• filename: character. Output filename
• ...: additional arguments for writing files as in writeRaster

Returns

SpatRaster

Examples

r <- rast(nrows=5, ncols=5)
values(r) <- rep(c(1:4, NA), each=5)
b <- segregate(r)
bb <- segregate(r, keep=TRUE, other=NA)
