Allocate Transition

Description

Performs transition allocation on a landscape map using Expander and Patcher according to a transition matrix specifying the net rates, a probability map and other parameters defining patch geometry.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Lanscape	Categorical Map	The initial landscape map.
Probabilities	Map	The map defining the probability of occurrence of each transition.
Transition Matrix	Transition Matrix	The matrix defining the net rate of each transition.
Percent of Transitions By Expansion	Percent Matrix	This matrix defines the percentage of total transitions performed by expansion of existent patches (using Expander operator). The complement of this matrix defines the percentage of transitions performed by generation of new patches (using Patcher operator).
Patch Expansion Parameters	Transition Function Parameter Matrix	The parameters used to expand existent patches. The parameters are used by Expander operator.
Patch Generation Parameters	Transition Function Parameter Matrix	The parameters used to generate new patches. These parameters are used by Patcher operator.

Optional Inputs

Name	Type	Description	Default Value
Print Transition Info	Bool	If true, print allocation info on the application console. This is useful to help identify problems in the transition rates and probability maps.	No

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Resulting Lanscape	Categorical Map	The resulting landscape map.
