It is often the case, at least with raster (grid) objects,
that you are not interested on a part of the raster.
For example because it's outside a non.rectangular region of study
and/or because some types of terrain (some classes) are outside
the scope of the study. In any case, those parts can be
represented by NA.
Unfortunately, while some functions like table() would not
include the NA in the statistics, spsample includes
the NA as just another class, which implies that a fraction
of the resulting coordinates will lay on the NA
part of the raster. This makes it difficult, to get N valid (i.e., not
on NA parts) points using spsample. Is there any way around this?
For example, if I want 10 points on non-NA cells of
raster X, I would like
spsample(X, 10, "stratified")
to provide 10 positions on non-NA cells.
At the moment, I get:
x <- GDAL.open("C:/ALOBO/dipu2006/STLL_VEG2006/ESTRAT3_OBAC.tif")
ESTRAT3OBAC <- asSGDF_GROD(x, output.dim=c(100,100))
GDAL.close(x)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@data==55537]<- NA
X <- ESTRAT3OBAC
X$cut <- as.ordered(cut(X$band1, c(0,10,100),include.lowest=TRUE))
table(X$cut)
[0,10] (10,100]
83 1961
summary(X$cut)
[0,10] (10,100] NA's
83 1961 7956
table(X$cut)
[0,10] (10,100]
83 1961
Xspsample <- spsample(X,10,"stratified")
Xo <- overlay(X,Xspsample)
summary(Xo)
Object of class SpatialPointsDataFrame
Coordinates:

x2 4608002.1 4610566.0
Is projected: TRUE
proj4string : [ +proj=utm +zone=31 +ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs]
Number of points: 9
Data attributes:

1st Qu.: 97 (10,100]:3
Median : 159 NA's :6
Mean :24745
3rd Qu.:55537
Max. :55537
That is, I get 6 positions on NA values of X
Thanks!
