flag.errors: Flag major errors

In ervanSTRI/AGBflux_pack: Set of functions to format, correct and compute AGB fluxes from CTFS-formated data.

Description

Identify trees with major errors in DBH measurments. A major error correspond to a relative individal productivity (or growth) is above a given percentage (set by 'maxrel') of the mean productivity computed at a site. Additionnaly, flagged trees that died at next census interval are also flagged. Option to see DBH measurement (=draw.graph) of flagged trees or print a csv (output.errors) are given.

Usage

flag.errors(DF, site, strangler, maxrel, draw.graph, output.errors,
  exclude.interval)

Arguments

DF	a data.table
site	provide the full name of your site (in lower case) i.e. 'barro colorado island'
strangler	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, strangler figs tree are flagged (upon a list to published soon)
maxrel	a numeric value setting the threshold over which relative productivity is assumed to be too high (usually set at 20 percents)
draw.graph	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, draw graph for trees with 'erroneous' DBH measures/productivity
output.errors	TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, creat a CSV file with all trees with erroneous DBH measures/productivity
exclude.interval	a vector (i.e. c(1,2)) indicating if a set of census intervals must be discarded from computation due for instance to a change in protocol of measurment

Value

a data.table (data.frame) with all relevant variables.
