In mattmar/rasterdiv: Diversity Indices for Numerical Matrices

rasterdiv 0.3.6

Minor changes

• Refixes \alias to load_copNDVI() (see warining raised by Brian Ripley)
• Sets Classical Rao's = 0 for window with only 1 non-NA value (see bug raised by Jakub Nowosad)

rasterdiv 0.3.5p

Minor changes

• Adds \alias to load_copNDVI()
• Removes TODO document

rasterdiv 0.3.5

Major changes

• Adds twdtw as a distance methods for paRao()
• Adds back Rao() as an alias for paRao(alpha=2)

Minor changes

• Changes how N is intended in mpaRaoAreaS
• Other improvements in paRaoS and paRaoP
• Fixes bug in progBar for paRao()

rasterdiv 0.3.4

Major changes

• Adds back CRE function (leaving old function syntax)

Minor changes

• Organises "accessory functions" in a separate file
• Documents almost all "accessory functions"
• Tries to improve progress bar
• Simplify heliPrep()
• Matches package with book chapter

rasterdiv 0.3.3

Major changes

• Adds heliPrep and heliPlot for helical graphs
• Temporarily removes CRE function
• Adds a vignettes for accRao (4)
• Adds a vignettes for helical plots (5)

Minor changes

• Small changes in all vignettes
• Updated documentation to Roxygen style
• Uses terra in the place of raster
• Changes data type of copNDVI (SpatRaster now)
• Changes data type of world (SpatVector now)
• Improves documentation

rasterdiv 0.3.2

Minor changes

• Fixes minor "bug" for area based Rao that did not allow for polygons containing raster matrices with just one value.
• Adds an additional examples for Area based Rao.

rasterdiv 0.3.1

Minor changes

• Fixes repetition in paRao() manual

rasterdiv 0.3.0

Major changes

• Adds multidimension area-based Rao's index in paRao().

Minor changes

• Reorganises vignettes.
• Adds new GitHub site with pkgdown().

rasterdiv 0.2.5.2

Minor changes

• Adds testthat tests for area-based Rao.

rasterdiv 0.2.5.1

Minor changes

• Made area-based paRao more efficient.
• Adapted vignettes to what changed.

rasterdiv 0.2.5

Major changes

• Starting to implement area-based paRao.

Minor changes

• Vignettes reduced
• Added world vector dataset

rasterdiv 0.2.4

Major changes

• accRao now RaoAUC
• RaoAUC working with paRao in multidimensional mode.

Minor changes

• Fixed some inconsistencies in the manual.

rasterdiv 0.2.2p1

Major changes

• Fixed issue due to high alphas which caused parametric Rao's to go to infinite (just added a warning for the multidimensional version).
• Rao still deprecated but connected in the background with paRao(..., alpha=1) for continuity with older versions.

rasterdiv 0.2.2

Major changes

• Rao() is now deprecated, replaced by paRao(..., alpha=1).
• Multiple window sizes can now be indicated in paRao(..., window=c(3,5)).
• Multidimension paRao now working for np>1.

Minor changes

• Vignette for multidimension Rao (rasterdiv_advanced_multimensionRao).
• Added tests folder for testthat.

rasterdiv 0.2.1

Major changes

• A new function accRao to derive the accumulation function of parametric Rao's index over a range of alphas. A vignette (rasterdiv_advanced_accRao) to show how to apply this function was added to the package.

rasterdiv 0.2.0

Major changes

• New parametrization of Rao's quadratic entropy. This parametrisation reconciles abundance-based indexes with distance-based indexes (Rao). The new function is called paRao, which stands for parametric Rao's entropy.

Minor changes

• Minor improvements in the structure of all main functions.
• Option to save the output as a rasterstack for all main functions.
• pbapply and pbmcapply for progress bars.
• Main vignette (rasterdiv_basics) simplified.

rasterdiv 0.1.0

First release which includes functions to compute on numerical matrices the following indexes: Shannon–Wiener index of diversity Rényi entropy Simpson index Berger-Parker index Hill numbers of order q or effective number of species Pielou evenness Rao's quadratic entropy Cumulative Residual entropy
