Description

The goal of {REcopol} is to make an easy-to-use function to analyse fossil pollen data.

All functions can be grouped into 5 categories:

  1. Diversity estimations - Functions to estimates diversity from community data using various methods, including taxonomic, functional. and phylogenetic diversity.
  2. Ordinations - Functions to fit Detrended (Canonical) Correspondence Analysis.
  3. GAM modeling - Functions to fit, predict, and visualise generalized additive models (GAM) models.
  4. Change-point analyses and regression partition - Functions for detection of change points in temporal patterns
  5. Utility - Functions for operation with (not only) fossil pollen data
