Description

Function to generate framework or subset summary statistics and save them as a .csv file in the R working directory. The file can be directly imported into a spreadsheet, e.g., MS Excel, for inspection, or into other software, e.g., a Geographical Information System (GIS) where the spatial information concerning the framework units is available, e.g., ecoclassification units.

Arguments

group

the name of the factor variable by which the data are to be subset.

x

file

the first part of the file name identifying the data source for saving the function output in the R working directory, see Details below.

Details

The function concatenates the working directory name with file, _, group as a character string, _, x as a character string, and _summary.csv to be used as the file name. Output to the current device is suppressed. The output file can be inspected with spread sheet software or a viewer of the user's choice.
