gauss_random_field_sim {BoundaryStats}R Documentation

Gaussian random field neutral model

Description

Simulates a gaussian random field as a neutral landscape of the same extent and resolution as the input raster, using the same spatial autocorrelation range as the input

Usage

gauss_random_field_sim(x, autocorr_range)

Arguments

x

A SpatRaster object.

autocorr_range

Distance range of spatial autocorrelation.

Value

A SpatRaster object with boundary elements.
