# E Exercise 03

## E.1 Question 1

• Read the raster MOD13A3_2000_2019.tif to a multi-band raster object named r.
• Calculate a vector of length 24 with the correlation coefficients between the values of the layer 1, and the values of layers 1, 2, …, 24.
• To calculate correlation coefficients use the cor function with the use="pairwise.complete.obs" argument, as in: cor(x, y, use="pairwise.complete.obs").
• For example, the 2nd value in the vector should be equal to:
## [1] 0.9752619
• Plot the values of the vector, as shown in Figure E.1.
• Remember: you cannot use the raster package in your solution! (see Section B.5.5.)
• Note: the two arguments passed to the cor function, i.e., the pixel values of layer 1 and layer n, need to be either vectors or arrays (not matrices). If necessary, a matrix can be converted to a vector with as.vector.

## E.2 Question 2

• Read the raster MOD13A3_2000_2019.tif to a multi-band raster object named r.
• Create a vector of length 233, so that the i’s value of the vector is equal to the proportion of NA values in the i’s layer of r.
• Plot the vector with lines and points, as shown in Figure E.2.
• The x-axis should display the years, based on the MOD13A3_2000_2019_dates.csv file.
• Remember: you cannot use the raster package in your solution! (see Section B.5.5.)
