Overview

About

Maintained by Matthias GreniéCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Computes functional rarity indices as proposed by Violle et al. (2017) doi:10.1016/j.tree.2017.02.002. Various indices can be computed using both regional and local information. Functional Rarity combines both the functional aspect of rarity as well as the extent aspect of rarity. 'funrar' is presented in Grenié et al. (2017) doi:10.1111/ddi.12629.

Changes in 1.5.0

NEW FEATURES

Added a new vignette named "other_functions" to document recently added

functions. You can access it through

vignette("other_functions", package = "funrar")

INTERNAL CHANGES

Fix uses of the Matrix package for their next version
Reorganized documentation to please goodpractice

USER-FACING CHANGES

Remove warnings regarding relative abundances for the distinctiveness_*()

functions as they can perfectly work with absolute abundances giving the same

results.

Fix typo in name of sparse matrices vignette.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("Rekyt/funrar")

Development version from Rekyt/funrar. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-funrar

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-funrar

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-funrar

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.
