Sample spatial field

Create a sample of a spatial field.

sam_field(x, size, type = "", value, nclusters, ...)

Arguments

x

A raster object.

size

Number of samples to create.

type

Expected spatial distribution of the samples. Possible values are: "jittered", "random", "clustered".

value

Amount of jitter to apply to the samples (in map units; only used when type = "jittered") or radius of the buffer around each cluster (only used when type = "clustered").

nclusters

Number of clusters to simulate. Only used when type = "clustered".

...

Additional arguments passed to terra::spatSample().

Examples

rast_grid = terra::rast(ncols = 300, nrows = 100, xmin = 0, xmax = 300, ymin = 0, ymax = 100)
sam_field(rast_grid, 100, "jittered", 5)
