For more details, see: Ferrier, S., Manion, G., Elith, J., & Richardson, K. (2007). Using generalized dissimilarity modelling to analyse and predict patterns of beta diversity in regional biodiversity assessment. Diversity and Distributions, 13(3), 252–264. doi:10.1111/j.1472-4642.2007.00341.x ===== Inputs ===== ^ Name ^ Type ^ Description ^ | Input Occurences | [[Categorical Map Type | Categorical Map]] | Map of classes or categories output from an execution pipeline. | | Possible Map 2 | [[Categorical Map Type | Categorical Map]] | Map of classes or categories output from an execution pipeline. | ===== Outputs ===== ^ Name ^ Type ^ Description ^ | Map | [[Categorical Map Type | Categorical Map]] | Map of classes or categories | ===== Group ===== [[Functor List#Control | Control]] ===== Notes ===== First, this functor verifies whether there is a valid input in "Possible Map 1"; if not, it chooses "Possible Map 2" as input. It is a convenient way to provide an alternate categorical map in case an execution pipeline does not return a valid data. If "Possible Map 2" is not set, the functor will return a void output. ===== Internal Name ===== CategoricalMapJunction
