Occurrence database summary

Description

The function calculates global statistics of the entire database

Usage

sumstat(
  x,
  tax = "genus",
  bin = "stg",
  coll = NULL,
  ref = NULL,
  duplicates = NULL
)

Arguments

x	(data.frame): The occurrence dataset.
tax	(character): The column name of taxon names.
bin	(character): The column name of bin names.
