epd.entity.df-class: Class for epd.entity.df objects
In dinilu/EPDr: Interact with the European Pollen Database (EPD)

Description Slots References

This is an expansion of epd.entity-class class, in which certain data have been reformated and included in the object. Hence, the first slots are the same as in a epd.entity-class. Then, additional data include four slots (@countstype, @countsprocessing, @taxatype, and @taxaprocessing) for information on the processing and transformation of the data, and for slots (@samplesdf, @agesdf, @commdf, and @nopodf) for reformated data.

e_: numeric. Number indicating the entity number (e_) of the stored entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
postbombzone: factor. It indicate the code of the postbombzone of the world where the entity is located. This is not used yet, but might be handy for further implementations for datations with CLAM or BACON. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
numberofchron: numeric. The number of chronologies available for the data in that entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
isingiesecke: logical. Indicating whether this entity was revised in Giesecke et al. (2013) and, hence, additional datations are available. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
defaultchron: numeric. The number of the default chronology according to the EPD. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
entity: entity. Entity object for the entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
site: site. Site object for the entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
geochron: geochron. Geochron object for the entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
chron: chron. Chron object for the entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
samples: samples. Samples object for the entity. Same as in an epd.entity-class object.
countstype: factor. Indicating if counts in @commdf@counts slot are in raw counts or percentages. See counts_to_percentages.
countsprocessing: factor. Indicating whether the counts are those counted (or percentaged) for the samples, or have been interpolated or intervaled for particular time periods (or intervals). See interpolate_counts or intervals_counts.
taxatype: factor. Indicating whether the taxa are the same as in the original database, or they have been changed to accepted taxa or higher taxonomical level. See taxa_to_highertaxa or taxa_to_acceptedtaxa.
taxaprocessing: factor. Indicating whether the taxa in commdf slot are those originally present in the database, or they have been expanded or filtered. See filter_taxa or unify_taxonomy.
samplesdf: samplesdf Object of class samplesdf-class. Samples in vector format.
agesdf: agesdf Object of class agesdf-class. Ages in vector and table format.
commdf: commdf Object of class commdf-class. Counts of biological particles in vector and table format.
nopodf: nopodf Object of class nopodf-class. Counts of no-biological particles in vector and table format.
