pixelate.fork: Pixelate spatial predictions as per their average uncertainty

Pixelate spatially continuous predictions as per their average uncertainty. The package pixelate centres around a single function also called pixelate. The function pixelate groups predictions into a specified number of large pixels; computes the average uncertainty within each large pixel; then, for each large pixel, depending on its average uncertainty, either averages the predictions across it or across smaller pixels nested within it. The averaged predictions can then be plotted. The resulting plot of averaged predictions is selectively pixelated, similar to a photo that is deliberately pixelated to disguise a person’s identity. Areas of high average uncertainty in the pixelated plot are unresolved, while areas with high average certainty are resolved, similar to information poor versus rich regions of a satellite map.
