Function type: Reporting/derived function – summarises or plots the output of another function; it does not compute any new statistic. Not exported. Unlike the other functions internalised alongside it, this one has no direct single-object S3 wrapper – it takes a direction raster (from direction_map(), also not exported) rather than a "trend_test"/"fdr" object, so there is nothing for a method to dispatch on. Reachable from outside the package via plot(tst_result, which = "direction")/plot(rta_result, which = "direction") for workflow_tst()/workflow_rta() results specifically; both this function and direction_map() are reachable with ::: for any other case.

Usage

fdr_direction_plot(direction, path = NULL, main = "Binarised trend map")

Arguments

direction

Output of direction_map().

path

Character or NULL. If supplied, a PNG is written there.

main

Plot title. Defaults to the generic "Binarised trend map"; workflow_tst()/workflow_rta() results pass their own "TST direction map"/"RTA direction map" instead.

Value

NULL, invisibly.

References

This combination of FDR-corrected significance with trend direction is this package's own contribution, not from an external method paper; cited here as the source of the overall TST workflow it belongs to:

Underlying theoretical justification for the FDR-BH assumption this significance is based on:

  • Benjamini, Y., & Yekutieli, D. (2001) The control of the false discovery rate in multiple testing under dependency. Annals of Statistics, 29(4), 1165-1188. doi:10.1214/aos/1013699998

Examples

r <- read_ordered_stack(example_data("vhp_ndvi"))
#> Temporal order auto-detected with pattern '(19[0-9]{2}|20[0-9]{2})'.
#> Automatic mode: order detected from file names. For higher reliability -- especially if the series is not annual -- supplying 'files' explicitly (with 'time' or 'cycle_type') is recommended. See ?read_ordered_stack.
