Area is estimated based on the pixel resolution. Projected CRS should be used of meaningful area estimation because non-projected CRS, e.g. geographic coordinates do not have regular cell size.

area_estimation(pred, cnf, conf = 1.95)

Arguments

pred

A categorical raster

cnf

A confusion matrix from link[caret]{confusionMatrix}.

conf

A confidence interval

Value

A table with columns cell with original and adujsted area estiamates per class as well Producer's, Users's and Overall accuracies with confidence interval.
