Exercise: Predicting Deforestation in PeruForest Foresight has developed the ForestForesight package in R, which contains a few distinct functions, some helper functions and a main function called ff_run. This page will discuss the ff_run function. The other subpages will concern themselves with the underlying functions, particularly:

• ff_prep

• ff_dqc

• ff_train

• ff_predict

• ff_analyze

• ff_polygonize

• ff_accuracyreport

• ff_importance

• ff_structurecheck

For all the functionalities of every function please go to the manual in R to get the latest info, or type help({name of function}) directly in the Rstudio terminal to get the help of every function.

Exercise

In this exercise, you'll use the ff_run function to predict deforestation in Peru. You'll create training data, validation data, train a model, make predictions, and analyze the results.
