Synthetic Hard Coral Cover Field

Usage

synthetic_field_hcc(
  spatial_grid,
  all_effects_df,
  baseline_sample_hcc,
  spde,
  config_sp
)

Arguments

spatial_grid: An sfc_POINT object representing the full spatial grid.
all_effects_df: A data frame containing the effects of the year.
baseline_sample_hcc: A data frame containing the baseline hard coral cover sample.
spde: A list containing the SPDE mesh, SPDE object, precision matrix Q, and projection matrix A.
config_sp: A list containing simulation config_spuration parameters.

Value

A list with:

all_effects_hcc – matrix of combined baseline and yearly effects
all_pts_sample_hcc – projected synthetic field onto the spatial grid
all_pts_effects_hcc – long-format data frame suitable for plotting

Details

Creates a broad-scale synthetic field of hard coral cover by combining the baseline field with the effects of the year. All effects are assumed to be on the link scale (logit) and projected onto the SPDE grid.
