Calc Change Matrix
Description
This functor calculates the quantity of changes, multiplying the transition rates by the number of cells of each category to be changed.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape | Categorical Map Type | Map of values for each category to be changed. |
| Transition Matrix | Transition Matrix Type | A transition matrix containing transition rates. |
Optional Inputs
None.
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes | Change Matrix Type | Matrix with the quantity of changes for each transition. |
Group
Notes
Since transition rates represent percentage of changes (net rates), they need to be multiplied by the number of cells of a certain category available for change to calculate the quantity of changes in terms of number of cells (crude rates).
The resulting number of cells (crude rate) is always rounded to the nearest integer value.
