Data and tools supporting geographic assignment of materials based on their isotopic chemistry. Isoscapes (environmental isotope maps) can be generated externally or downloaded using the getIsoscapes function. Data from samples of known origin are used to calibrate the relationship between isoscape and sample values, and can be provided by the user or extracted from the package database (knownOrig.rda). Database data or user-provided known-origin or unknown origin sample data can be transformed among different H and O isotope reference scales to improve comparability (refTrans). Functions (calRaster, pdRaster) support calibrating one or more isoscapes (multiple layers combined using isoStack) and inverting the assignment model to estimate the probability of origin for unknown samples across a geographic study domain. Functions (QA, plot.QA) allow quality assessment of assignment results and comparison of methods using split-sample tests and known origin data. Functions (oddsRatio, qtlRaster, jointP, unionP) support post-hoc classification of results, summarization of results from multiple samples, and comparison of support for different locations.
For current production release, see the vignette here and install from CRAN.
