Patcher Continuous State

Description

Generate new patches of a certain class or category.

Inputs

Name Type Description
Continuous Landscape Map Type Map of stocks. Each cell represent the amount of stock stored (in units per hectare).
Probabilities Map Type Map of spatial probabilities.
Quota Real Value Type Accumulation quota (in units).
Mean Real Value Type Patch mean (in hectares).
Variance Real Value Type Patch variance (in hectares).
Isometry Real Value Type Patch isometry.

Optional Inputs

Name Type Description Default Value
Neighbor Window Lines Positive Integer Value Type Number of lines of the neighborhood search window. 3
Neighbor Window Columns Positive Integer Value Type Number of lines of the neighborhood search window. 3
Prune Factor Real Value Type A multiple of the quantity of cells to be changed. This is used in order to specify the size of the vector where cells are ranked for subsequent draw. Prune factor multiplies the expected number of cells to be changed to set the quantity of possible cells, based on their spatial probability, that take part in the selection mechanism of new patch nuclei. Typically, increasing this value also increases the stochasticity of selection of patch pivot cells. 10

Outputs
