Raster extract by polygon generating NAs

3 messages · João Carreiras, Ben Tupper

Greetings!

I'm using the extract command (raster package) with a raster layer (x)
and a spatial polygons dataframe (y). I'm using it to extract the sum
of raster values by each spatial polygon. However, I'm getting NAs as
a result for some polygon IDs, which I know isn't true because that
doesn't happen in ArcGIS.

Does anyone experienced the same issue?

Thanks!
Joao

Hi,

It's hard to know without any reproducible code, but you will want to pay close attention to the value of the na.rm argument to raster::extract(Raster,SpatialPolygons)  

See ?extract for all the details.

Cheers,
Ben

Thank you Ben, setting na.rm = T did the job.

Best wishes
