Generate RMSE from an estimated raster surface and point data

Usage

rmse_raster_to_point(estimates, validation_data, outcome_field, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

estimates

(terra::SpatRaster) Raster surface containing point estimates. This could also be the mean surface of a Bayesian geostatistical model

validation_data

(data.frame)
Table containing at least the following fields:

  • x (numeric) location x position, in the same projection as estimates

  • y (numeric) location y position, in the same projection as estimates

  • (Outcome field) See below

outcome_field

(character(1)) Column in validation_data containing the values that should be compared against the estimates raster surface.

na.rm

(logical(1), default FALSE) Should NA values be dropped from the RMSE calculation?

Value

A single number giving RMSE between the point data and estimates raster.
