usefulSp: Useful species

In Dmirandae/geocleaMT-1: A Package to Clean/Test Georeferenced Data

Description

Get species with a minimum number of occurrences.

Usage

usefulSp(data = NULL, path = NULL, cut.off = 3, rd.frmt = "readRDS",
  wrt.frmt = "saveRDS", save.useful.in = NULL, save.useless.in = NULL)

Arguments

data	Vector of characters. Name of the input file.
path	Vector of characters. Path to the input file.
cut.off	Numeric. Minimal (absolute) number of occurrences for a given species, the default value is 3, as the minimal number of points to draw a polygon.
rd.frmt	Vector of characters. The file format to read. By default it will be read as a R object using the 'readRDS' argument, but it can be read as plain text using the 'readTXT' argument. See details.
wrt.frmt	Character. Output file format, by default it uses a '.RDS' format, although it could save a txt table. See details.
save.useful.in	String. Output file path for useful species (those with occurrences larger than the cut.off value. See details.
save.useless.in	String. Output file path for useless species (those with occurrences smaller than the cut.off value. See details.

Details

To check input/output formats see readAndWrite. Column names must follow Darwin Core2[1] standard. See data('ID_DarwinCore).

Value

A data.frame object and a file for each species.
