prepare_data: Prepare data for single RoC estimation

In HOPE-UIB-BIO/R-Ratepol-package: R-Ratepol: Estimating Rate of Change in Temporal Sequences

Prepare data for single RoC estimation

Description

Create a single list with all information needed to estimate RoC. This is done because such list can be then evaluated in parallel.

Usage

prepare_data(
  data_source_prep,
  working_units = c("levels", "bins", "MW"),
  bin_size = 500,
  number_of_shifts = 5,
  rand = NULL
)

Arguments

data_source_prep	List with community and age
working_units	Character. Selection of units that the dissimilarity_coefficient will be calculated between. "levels" - individual levels are going to be used "bins" - samples in predefined bins will be pooled together and one sample will be selected from each time bin as a representation. "MW" - Bins of selected size are created, starting from the beginning of the core. This is repeated many times, with each time bin (window) shifting by Z years forward. This is repeated X times, where X = bin size / Z.
bin_size	Numeric. Size of the time bin (in years)
number_of_shifts	Numeric. Value determining the number of shifts of window used in Moving window method
rand	Numeric. Number of runs used in randomisation.
