trait.info: A matrix of plant trait information

In BHPMF: Uncertainty Quantified Matrix Completion using Bayesian Hierarchical Matrix Factorization

Description

An example of data matrix containing plant traits where missing values are filled by NA. Plant traits are morphological, anatomical, biochemical, physiological or phenological features of individuals or their component organs or tissues. Plant traits are key to understand and ameliorate the response of biodiversity and terrestrial ecosystems to human disturbance and expected environmental changes. Plant traits have log-normal distribution, so we first took the logarithm for each entries in the plant x trait matrix, and then calculate the z-score for each trait. Due to the data privacy, we perturbed a subset of TRY database with anonymous trait name.

Usage

trait_info.txt

Format

A data frame containing 20,000 rows and 13 columns.
