eval_feature_representation_summary

Evaluate feature representation


Description

Calculate how well features are represented by a solution to a conservation planning problem(). These summary statistics are reported for each and every feature, and each and every zone, within a conservation planning problem.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,numeric'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,matrix'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,data.frame'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,Spatial'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,sf'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

## S4 method for signature 'ConservationProblem,Raster'
eval_feature_representation_summary(x, solution)

Arguments

x

problem() (i.e. ConservationProblem) object.

solution

numeric, matrix, data.frame, Raster, Spatial, or sf::sf() object. The argument should be in the same format as the planning unit cost data in the argument to x. See the Solution format section for more information.

Value

tibble::tibble() object describing feature representation. Here, each row describes a specific summary statistic (e.g. different management zone) for a specific feature. It contains the following columns:

summary

character description of the summary statistic. The statistic associated with the "overall" value in this column is calculated using the entire solution (including all management zones if there are multiple zones). If multiple management zones are present, then summary statistics are also provided for each zone separately (indicated using zone names).

feature

character name of the feature.

total_amount

numeric total amount of each feature available in the entire conservation planning problem (not just planning units selected within the solution). It is calculated as the sum of the feature data, supplied when creating a problem() object (e.g. presence/absence values).

absolute_held

numeric total amount of each feature secured within the solution. It is calculated as the sum of the feature data, supplied when creating a problem() object (e.g. presence/absence values), weighted by the status of each planning unit in the solution (e.g. selected or not for prioritization).

relative_held

numeric proportion of each feature secured within the solution. It is calculated by dividing values in the "absolute_held" column by those in the "total_amount" column.

Solution format

Broadly speaking, the argument to solution must be in the same format as the planning unit data in the argument to x. Further details on the correct format are listed separately for each of the different planning unit data formats:

x has numeric planning units

The argument to solution must be a numeric vector with each element corresponding to a different planning unit. It should have the same number of planning units as those in the argument to x. Additionally, any planning units missing cost (NA) values should also have missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.

x has matrix planning units

The argument to solution must be a matrix vector with each row corresponding to a different planning unit, and each column correspond to a different management zone. It should have the same number of planning units and zones as those in the argument to x. Additionally, any planning units missing cost (NA) values for a particular zone should also have a missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.

x has Raster planning units

The argument to solution be a Raster object where different grid cells (pixels) correspond to different planning units and layers correspond to a different management zones. It should have the same dimensionality (rows, columns, layers), resolution, extent, and coordinate reference system as the planning units in the argument to x. Additionally, any planning units missing cost (NA) values for a particular zone should also have missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.

x has data.frame planning units

The argument to solution must be a data.frame with each column corresponding to a different zone, each row corresponding to a different planning unit, and cell values corresponding to the solution value. This means that if a data.frame object containing the solution also contains additional columns, then these columns will need to be subsetted prior to using this function (see below for example with sf::sf() data). Additionally, any planning units missing cost (NA) values for a particular zone should also have missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.

x has Spatial planning units

The argument to solution must be a Spatial object with each column corresponding to a different zone, each row corresponding to a different planning unit, and cell values corresponding to the solution value. This means that if the Spatial object containing the solution also contains additional columns, then these columns will need to be subsetted prior to using this function (see below for example with sf::sf() data). Additionally, the argument to solution must also have the same coordinate reference system as the planning unit data. Furthermore, any planning units missing cost (NA) values for a particular zone should also have missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.

x has sf::sf() planning units

The argument to solution must be a sf::sf() object with each column corresponding to a different zone, each row corresponding to a different planning unit, and cell values corresponding to the solution value. This means that if the sf::sf() object containing the solution also contains additional columns, then these columns will need to be subsetted prior to using this function (see below for example). Additionally, the argument to solution must also have the same coordinate reference system as the planning unit data. Furthermore, any planning units missing cost (NA) values for a particular zone should also have missing (NA) values in the argument to solution.
