Moran

Calculate spatial-temporal Moran's I and search for forest disturbance.

Dependencies

• Moran.m function to calculate Moran's I of a given block.
• Blocking.m function to divide an image into equal blocks.
• natsort.m & natsortfiles.m function to sort filenames with numbers. Note: Path of dependencies should be included in MATLAB search folder.

Usage

What scripts to run? In what order?

1. STI_LowMemory.mlx Calculates the spatial temporal Moran's I. (See code for detailed formula.)
2. DistMarker.mlx Mark the time and place of disturbance. 1 for disturbance, 0 for no disturbance.
3. StartEndMarker2.mlx Find the starting and ending date of each disturbance. Output image includes year and month images. Set output variables to doy for duration. The default output result can't be used to calculate duration.
4. Duration.mlx Calculates the duration (in days) of each disturbance.
5. distMaxDuration.mlx Max and min stats of forest disturbance duration.

Input / output params

Detailed documentations are in *.mlx scripts. They will guide you what to input and how to interpret results.
