vegtable 0.2.0
New Features
- New data set veg_layerswith information about
vegetation layers.
- New function new_layer()to add layer information
tables in vegtable objects.
Improvements
- Function count_taxa()also inserts results into slot
relations.
- New arguments 'level'and'include_lower'in functioncrosstable()They enable selection and/or
merging of taxon ranks in cross tables.
- Function cross2db()implemented in two methods, adata.frame-methodand amatrix-method.
- New parameter keep_synonymsin functionused_concepts(), which can be used to skp synonyms in the
output object.
Bug fixes
- Fuction crosstable()was not applying properly the
argument use_nas.
vegtable 0.1.8
New Features
- New function veg_diversity()and functions calculating
diversity indices:shannon(),evenness(),dominance(),simpson(), andrichness().
- New function new_relation()inserting new relations
intovegtableobjects. This function is internally called
byveg_relation().
- New function df2coverconvert()coercing data frames and
lists intocoverconvertobjects.
Improvements
- Slot relations may deal with any element that can
be coerced to data.frame.
- All elements in slot syntax have to be of class
taxlist
- Parameter in_headerdefined in several functions is set
asin_header = TRUE.
- Former method for ‘aggregate()’ is now defined in function
‘veg_aggregate()’.
- Deprecated functions: match_names(),merge_taxa(). These functions are now exclusive for objects
of classtaxlist.
- Method names()forvegtableobjects will
retrieve a list with all names from the respective slots.
- New coercion methods including functions as()andas<-.
- Functions trait_proportion()andtrait_stats()are also adding results to the slot
relations.
Bug Fixes
- An issue was solved for function taxa2samples()when
setting an argument in the parameter'merge_to', which was
not properly working in all cases.
vegtable 0.1.7
New Features
- New function used_concepts()to extract taxon concepts
that are occurring in the plot observations.
- New function cover_trans()in replacement oftransform()
- New slot syntaxinvegtableobjects.
- show()and- print()methods for objects- vegtable,- coverconvert, and- shaker.
Improvements
- In function make_cocktail(), names of syntaxa are
allowed to start with numerical values.
- Function write_juice()includes a messages when working
and with some metadata for cross-check when importing in Juice.
- New arguments in function taxa2samples()setting the
levels to be included in output object (include_levels) and
to remove taxa without levels (na.rm).
- Application of subset()extended to content in slot
relations.
- Function vegtable2kml()was deprecated to resolve
dependencies on GIS packages associated to packageplotKML.
- Validity checks allow plots in slot header without
records in samples.
- Function summary()also providing number of plots with
records.
- Function transform()deprecated and replaced bycover_trans().
Bug Fixes
- Files written by write_juice()in Linux are now
readable in Windows.
- In clean()objects with no entries resulted in invalid
objects.
- Bug in count_taxa()for aggregating ranks with missing
records for lower taxa.
vegtable 0.1.6
Improvements
- Documentation implemented in roxygen2.
- New argument preserve_idsin functionadd_releves().
Bug Fixes
- Function count_taxa()adapted to the current packagetaxlist.
vegtable 0.1.5
New Features
- New function relation2header().
- New functions trait_stats()andtrait_proportion().
Improvements
- New argument add_traitsin functiontaxa2samples().
- Output of count_taxa(), formula-method, indicates the
counted rank in the output.
- Adjusted settings in function write_juice()for general
cases.
- Argument as_matrixin functioncrosstable()alternatingmatrixordata.frameas output.
- New arguments suffixandin_headerfor the
functioncount_taxa().
Bug Fixes
- Function taxa2samples()was not properly working whentaxlisthad taxon concepts without level information.
vegtable 0.1.4
New Features
- New data set aspect_conv.
- New function taxa2samples()for changing record names
by their respective accepted names.
- Function count_taxa()implemented forvegtableobjects.
Improvements
- Updated data set Kenya_vegIncluding hierarchical
ranks.
Bugs
- Function cross2dbwas not working properly for tables
with only one column
vegtable 0.1.3
Improvements
- A method for numericvalues in functiontransform().
vegtable 0.1.2
New Features
- File inst/ChangeLog replaced by
NEWS.md.
- Method match_names()forvegtableobjects.
- New method layers2samples().
- New method add_releves(), adding releves from data
frames intovegtableobjects.
Improvements
- No column LayerIDin prototype forvegtableobjects.
- NAvalues are allowed for layers in slot- samples.
- Layers are not any more restricted to single plots.
- Orphaned entries in slot layerswill be deleted by
functionclean().
- Argument match_headerincluded in functionveg_relation().
- Validity check is not accepting NAvalues inTaxonUsageIDat slotsamples.
- Validity check tests also the values of relations matching header
with the respective relation.
