L4.mar: L4 plankton abundance time-series prepared for MAR modeling

In MAR1: Multivariate Autoregressive Modeling for Analysis of Community Time-Series Data

Description

Plankton abundance data collected at the Western Channel Observatory L4 station, formatted for use in run.mar. The dataset was prepared for MAR analysis with a call to
prepare.data(data=L4.AllDates, increment="month", fill.gap=0, replace.0s="rand.half",
log=T, z.method="deseason")

Usage

data(L4.mar)
