README.md
mumarinex
The ‘mumarinex’ package aims to facilitate the computation of the multivariate marine recovery index, providing functions for data visualization and ecological diagnostics of marine ecosystems. The computational details are described in the original publication (please, see below for reference).
Installation
You can install the development version of mumarinex from CRAN or from GitHub, respectively with:
install.packages("mumarinex") # CRAN
devtools::install_github("Nathan-Chauvel/mumarinex") # GitHub
Functions of the mumarinex package
| Name | Short description |
|---|---|
decomplot() | Generates a graphical representation of MUMARINEX sub-indices. |
diagnostic_tool() | Identifies, for each sub-index, the species/taxa that most contribute to its variation.. |
mumarinex() | Computes the MUMARINEX index and its sub-indices (SCSR, CBCS, and SPI). |
mum_GUI() | Launch the online Graphical User Interface to compute the MUMARINEX index and its sub-indices. |
