WoodSimulatR

The WoodSimulatR package has been developed in the project InnoGrading by Holzforschung Austria (https://www.holzforschung.at).

It provides tools for generating simulated sawn timber strength grading data.

The main focus is statistical simulation based on covariance matrices.

WoodSimulatR also contains pre-stored simulation data for Norway spruce (Picea abies) sawn timber from Austria and reference values of means and standard deviations of grade determining properties (GDPs) from literature for a number of European countries.

Installation

You can install the released version of WoodSimulatR from CRAN with:

install.packages("WoodSimulatR")

Vignette

The most important use cases are explained in the vignette woodsimulatr_basics which can be accessed by:

vignette('woodsimulatr_basics', package = 'WoodSimulatR')

Acknowledgements

The project InnoGrading was funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG; project nr. 869170).

The package WoodSimulatR was inspired by the work of Ranta-Maunus and Turk (2010).
