native geographical detector(GD) model

Function for native geographical detector model.

Usage

gd(formula, data, type = "factor", alpha = 0.95)

Arguments

formula: A formula of geographical detector model.
data: A data.frame, tibble or sf object of observation data.
type: (optional) The type of geographical detector, which must be one of factor(default), interaction, risk, ecological. You can run one or more types at one time.
alpha: (optional) Specifies the size of the alpha (confidence level). Default is 0.95.

Value

A list of the GD model result.

factor: the result of factor detector
interaction: the result of interaction detector
risk: the result of risk detector
ecological: the result of ecological detector
