spatial rough set-based geographical detector(SRSGD) model

Function for spatial rough set-based geographical detector model.

Usage

srsgd(formula, data, wt = NULL, type = "factor", alpha = 0.95)

Arguments

formula: A formula of spatial rough set-based geographical detector model.
data: A data.frame, tibble or sf object of observation data.
wt: Spatial adjacency matrix. If data is a sf polygon object, the queen adjacency matrix is used when no wt object is provided. In other cases, you must provide a wt object.
type: (optional) The type of geographical detector, which must be one of factor(default), interaction and ecological.
alpha: (optional) Specifies the size of the alpha (confidence level). Default is 0.95.

Value

A list of tibble with the corresponding result under different detector types.

factor: the result of spatial rough set-based factor detector
interaction: the result of spatial rough set-based interaction detector
ecological: the result of spatial rough set-based ecological detector

Note

The Spatial Rough Set-based Geographical Detector Model (SRSGD) conducts spatial hierarchical heterogeneity analysis utilizing a geographical detector for data where the dependent variable is discrete. Given the complementary relationship between SRSGD and the native version of geographical detector, I strive to maintain consistency with gd() function when establishing srsgd() function. This implies that all input variable data in srsgd must be discretized prior to use.
