cdynfgeo: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Substitute DBH changes (cm/yr) outside of a pre-set acceptable range of DBH changes by their expected values based on other observed values inside the pre-set interval. Can also substitute AGB changes by intergrating the AGB allometry over the distribution of expected DBH changes. This function allows to have unbiased stand-level estimates of DBH and AGB growth while removing the most obvious measurement errors.

`varD`	Vector of changes in DBH.
`hom_change`	Vector of changes in height of measurement.
`cut`	Acceptable range of DBH changes. Default is c(-0.5, 5)
`lambda`	Parameter of the modulus function used to normalize DBH changes (see Condit et al., 2017). Default is 0.5
`value`	What change should be computed, either "D" (DBH) or "AGB". Default is "D".
`D`	Must provide a value when value = "AGB". Default is NULL.
`WD`	Vector of wood densities. Must provide a value when value = "AGB" (can be "NA" for temperate sites). Default is NULL.
`E`	Vector of environmental parameter used in Chave et al pantropical allometric equation. Must provide a value when value = "AGB" (NA for temperate sites). Default is NULL.
`a`	Vector of first parameter used in Chojnacky allometric equations. Must provide a value when value = "AGB" (NA for tropical sites). Default is NULL.
`b`	Vector of second parameter used in Chojnacky allometric equations. Must provide a value when value = "AGB" (NA for tropical sites). Default is NULL.
