shaker-class: Class containing Cocktail algorithms.

In vegtable: Handling Vegetation Data Sets

Class containing Cocktail algorithms.

Description

Objects used for collecting Cocktail definitions.

These objects work as expert systems for recognition of defined vegetation units among plots of a vegtable object. A shaker object will be always dependent on a vegtable object, which is called companion. Since modifications in the companion may affect the functionality of the shaker object, it will be recommended to create the last during a session by a source script instead of recycling them from old R images.
