Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples
This function reduces a given dataset based on filters for minimum presence (abundance) AND minimum persistence (number of samples), or maximum persitence.
1 |
x |
Matrix or dataframe with taxa in columns and samples in rows. |
rare |
Argument indicating if filter aims rare or common taxa. If |
presen |
Criterion for minimum percentual presence, 1 percent by default. Only relevant if |
persist |
Criterion for minimum persistence as a fraction of the number of samples where the taxon is expected to occur, 0.05 of the total number of samples by default. |
This function applies both the presence and persistence filters when rare=TRUE
. If the user desires to apply only one of the filters at a given time, a criterion that is met by all elements (taxa) should be chosen, e.g. persist=0
. If rare=FALSE
, only the criterion of being under the given persitence threshold is applied.
Returns a list with three components
filtered |
Reduced dataset after both filters are applied. |
filter |
This component is returned only when |
result |
