mtp_thresh_from_coords

mtp_thresh_from_coords(raster, coordinates)

This function takes the coordinates of empirical sampling localities, finds which raster cells they belong to, extracts the values of the first layer for those localities, and finds the minimum value. This value is the maximum threshold value to determine a presence vs absence in a threshold transformation. If the threshold is set any higher, empirical sampling localities will not be sampled in the simulations.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
raster	rasterio.DatasetReader	The rasterio DatasetReader object representing the raster data containing the suitability values.	required
coordinates	Union[List[Tuple[float, float]], gpd.GeoDataFrame]	The longitude, latitude coordinates of the empirical sampling localities as a list of coordinate pair tuples or a geopandas GeoDataFrame.	required

Returns

Type	Description
float	The maximum threshold value to determine a presence vs absence in a threshold transformation.

Raises

Type	Description
TypeError	If the coordinates input is not a list, geopandas GeoDataFrame, or pandas DataFrame.
