Overview

About

Maintained by Jeffrey O HansonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Decision support tool for prioritizing sites for ecological surveys based on their potential to improve plans for conserving biodiversity (e.g. plans for establishing protected areas). Given a set of sites that could potentially be acquired for conservation management, it can be used to generate and evaluate plans for surveying additional sites. Specifically, plans for ecological surveys can be generated using various conventional approaches (e.g. maximizing expected species richness, geographic coverage, diversity of sampled environmental algorithms. After generating such survey plans, they can be evaluated using conditions) and maximizing value of information. Please note that several functions depend on the 'Gurobi' optimization software (available from https://www.gurobi.com). Additionally, the 'JAGS' software (available from https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/) is required to fit hierarchical generalized linear models. For further details, see Hanson et al. (2023) doi:10.1111/1365-2664.14309.

Changes in 1.1.1

CRAN release.
Update configure.ac and configure files to remove bashisms.
Update package manual entry and vignette with citation information.
Update package manual entry with package website, issue tracker, and code repository.
Update tests for env_div_survey_scheme() and geo_cov_survey_scheme() to prevent tests from sporadically failing due to multiple optimal solutions.

Install

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

install.packages("surveyvoi", 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("prioritizr/surveyvoi")

Development version from prioritizr/surveyvoi. 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-surveyvoi

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-surveyvoi

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

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