Multivariate environmental similarity surfaces (MESS)
Compute multivariate environmental similarity surfaces (MESS), as described by Elith et al., 2010
mess(x, v, full=FALSE, filename='', ...)
x |
Raster* object |
v |
matrix or data.frame containing the reference values. Each column should correspond to one layer of the Raster* object |
full |
logical. If |
filename |
character. Output filename (optional) |
... |
additional arguments as for |
v can be obtained for a set of points using extract .
A RasterBrick with layers corresponding to the input layers and an additional layer with the mess values (if full=TRUE and nlayers(x) > 1) or a RasterLayer with the MESS values (if full=FALSE).
