\S4method{AgreementBudget}{RasterLayer}(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a ThreeMapComparison object or RasterLayer}

\description{
This function quantifies sources of agreement and disagreement between a
reference map for time 1, a reference map for time 2 and a simulated map for
time 2 to provide meaningful information about the performance of land use
change simulations.
}
\details{
The types of agreement and disagreement considered are those described in
Pontius et al. (2011):

\enumerate{
  \item Persistence simulated correctly (agreement)
  \item Persistence simulated as change (disagreement)
  \item Change simulated incorrectly (disagreement)
  \item Change simulated correctly (agreement)
  \item Change simulated as persistence (disagreement)
}
