Overview

About

Maintained by Walter ZupaCRAN page ↗

Provides quality checks for MEDITS (International Bottom Trawl Survey in the Mediterranean) trawl survey exchange data tables (TA (Haul data), TB (Catch data), TC (Biological data), TE (Biological individual data), TL (Litter data)). The main function RoME() calls all check functions in a defined sequence to perform a complete quality control of TX (Generic exchange data) data, including header validation, controlled-vocabulary checks, cross-table consistency tests, and biological plausibility checks. No automatic correction is applied: the package detects errors, warns the user, and specifies the type of error to ease data correction. Checks can be run simultaneously on multi-year datasets. An embedded 'shiny' application is also provided via run_RoME_app(). References describing the methods: MEDITS Working Group (2017).

Changes in 0.2.4

Fixed a bug in check_weight_tot_nb() that caused a crash ("missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed") when processing records with an empty or NA FAUNISTIC_CATEGORY. The function now gracefully handles these cases and emits a specific warning.
System-wide standardization of validation checks to explicitly prefix log messages with "Error: " or "Warning: " for clearer parsing and debugging of data inconsistencies.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("RoME", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rome

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-RoME

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-RoME

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
