jbd_coordinates_precision: Flags coordinates for imprecision

In BeeBDC: Occurrence Data Cleaning

Flags coordinates for imprecision

Description

This function flags occurrences where BOTH latitude and longitude values are rounded. This contrasts with the original function, bdc::bdc_coordinates_precision() that will flag occurrences where only one of latitude OR longitude are rounded. The BeeBDC approach saves occurrences that may have had terminal zeros rounded in one coordinate column.

Usage

jbd_coordinates_precision(
  data,
  lat = "decimalLatitude",
  lon = "decimalLongitude",
  ndec = NULL,
  quieter = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	A data frame or tibble. Occurrence records as input.
lat	Character. The name of the column to use as latitude. Default = "decimalLatitude".
lon	Character. The name of the column to use as longitude. Default = "decimalLongitude".
ndec	Numeric. The number of decimal places to flag in decimal degrees. For example, argument value of 2 would flag occurrences with nothing in the hundredths place (0.0x).
quieter	Logical. If TRUE, the functino will run a little quieter. Default = FALSE.

Value

Returns the input data frame with a new column, .rou, where FALSE indicates occurrences that failed the test.

Examples

beesRaw_out <- jbd_coordinates_precision(
  data = BeeBDC::beesRaw,
  lon = "decimalLongitude",
  lat = "decimalLatitude",
    # number of decimals to be tested
  ndec = 2
)
table(beesRaw_out$.rou, useNA = "always")
