signalCalculation

Calculates signals sent from reference regions to point records.

Automated assessment of accuracy and geographical status of georeferenced biological data. The methods rely on reference regions, namely checklists and range maps. Includes functions to obtain data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility <https://www.gbif.org/> and from the Global Inventory of Floras and Traits <https://gift.uni-goettingen.de/home>. Alternatively, the user can input their own data. Furthermore, provides easy visualisation of the data and the results through the plotting functions. Especially suited for large datasets. The reference for the methodology is: Arlé et al. (under review).

signalCalculation function

<dl><dt>ref_reg</dt>
<dd>a list of shapefiles containing checklist regions as 
"presence", "native", and "alien" categories. These can be original 
checklists, or checklists derived from range maps.</dd>
<dt>pts</dt>
<dd>data.frame containing the point records and their coordinates.</dd>
<dt>biogeo</dt>
<dd>logical, whether the biogeographical status indices should 
be calculated or not. Default is true, however at least the native 
reference regions must be included in the data.</dd></dl>
