Synthetic Soft Coral Cover Field

Usage

synthetic_field_sc(
  spatial_grid,
  all_effects_df,
  baseline_sample_sc,
  spde,
  config_sp
)

Arguments

spatial_grid: An sfc_POINT object representing the full spatial grid.
all_effects_df: A data.frame containing the annual effects of disturbances.
baseline_sample_sc: A matrix or data.frame containing the baseline soft coral cover.
spde: A list containing the SPDE mesh, SPDE object, precision matrix Q, and projection matrix A.
config_sp_sp_sp: A list containing config_sp_sp_spuration parameters, including years.

Value

A list with:

all_effects_sc – matrix of combined baseline and effects on the SPDE mesh
all_pts_sample_sc – projected synthetic field onto the spatial grid
all_pts_effects_sc – long-format data frame suitable for plotting

Details

Generates a broad-scale synthetic field of soft coral cover by combining baseline soft coral cover with annual effects. The resulting values are on the link (logit) scale and projected onto the SPDE grid.
