| - | | Transition Parameters | [[Transition Function Parameter Matrix Type|Transition Function Parameter Matrix]] | Matrix of transition function parameters consisting of Mean Patch size, Patch size variance, and isometry. By varying these parameters, various spatial patterns can be reproduced (see examples on [[http://www.csr.ufmg.br/dinamica/spatialpatterns/spatialpatterns.html|Dinamica collection of spatial patterns]]). Increase the patch size for a less-fragmented landscape. Increase the patch size variance for a more diverse landscape, and set isometry greater than one for more isometric patches. Tipically, the isometry defines the aggregation level of a patch. Assuming that v is the current isometry value, 0<v<1 forces disaggregation, v>1 forces aggregation and v=1 is ignored. | | + | | Transition Parameters | [[Transition Function Parameter Matrix Type]] | Matrix of transition function parameters consisting of Mean Patch size, Patch size variance, and isometry. By varying these parameters, various spatial patterns can be reproduced (see examples on [[patterns_of_change|Patterns of Change]]). Increase the patch size for a less-fragmented landscape. Increase the patch size variance for a more diverse landscape, and set isometry greater than one for more isometric patches. Typically, the isometry defines the aggregation level of a patch. Assuming that v is the current isometry value, 0<v<1 forces disaggregation, v>1 forces aggregation and v=1 is ignored. The mean patch size and the variance define the size of the patches that will be added to existent ones. | |

| - | | Neighbor Window Lines | [[Positive Int Type|Positive Int]] | Number of lines and columns of the neighbor search window. Patches can be created in a diffuse way by increasing the neighbor search window to values greater than 3 for lines and columns; a 3x3 window corresponds to the Moore neighborhood. | 3 | | + | | Neighbor Window Lines | [[Positive Integer Value Type]] | Number of lines and columns of the neighbor search window.

| - | | Prune Factor | [[Double Type|Double]] | A multiple of the quantity of cells to be changed. This is used in order to specify the size of the vector where cells are ranked for subsequent draw. Prune factor multiplies the expected number of cells to be changed to set the quantity of possible cells, based on their spatial probability, that take part in the selection mechanism of new patch nuclei. | 10 | | + | | Prune Factor | [[Real Value Type]] | A multiple of the quantity of cells to be changed. This is used in order to specify the size of the vector where cells are ranked for subsequent draw. Prune factor multiplies the expected number of cells to be changed to set the quantity of possible cells, based on their spatial probability, that take part in the selection mechanism of new patch nuclei. Typically, increasing this value also increases the stochasticity of selection of patch pivot cells. | 10 | |
