inputcommunitydata {comclim}

Input data for community climate analysis

Description

A helper function to streamline data formatting

Usage

inputcommunitydata(localcommunity, regionalpool, 
  regionalpoolweights = numeric(), climateniches, observedclimate)

Arguments

localcommunity

The names of species in the local community at tinf.

regionalpool

The names of species in the the regional pool for the local community at tinf.

regionalpoolweights

A numeric vector with same length as regional_pool_tinf, corresponding to sampling weights at tinf. Does not need to sum to one; will be normalized. If left empty, will be auto-filled with all 1s (i.e. uniform sampling).

climateniches

A dataframe with climate niche information for all species in the local community and regional pool at tinf. Should have a taxon column, and then any number of other columns corresponding to climate axes. Each row represents an observation of the species with a given taxon name. Usually you will fill this dataframe by mapping geographic occurrences of species into climate space.

observedclimate

A named numeric vector with names corresponding to the same climate axes as in climate_niches_tinf. Represents the observed climate at tobs.

Value

A CommunityClimateInput-class object.
