bean 0.2.0

Major changes

• find_env_resolution() no longer uses a geometric “elbow” rule on nearest- neighbour distances. It now selects a kernel-density bandwidth for each environmental variable using the Sheather-Jones plug-in estimator (default), with Silverman and Scott rules also available via the new method argument. The bandwidth is a statistically defensible choice for the edge length of an environmental grid cell, and the new implementation is faster and more robust to ties.
• rgl is now a Suggests dependency rather than an Imports. 3-D plots still work when rgl is installed; otherwise plot.bean_ellipsoid() falls back to a 2-D view of the first two requested dimensions.
• The S3 method predict.bean_ellipsoid() is now documented under its canonical name (previously the help page was generated as predict.ellipsoid_bean).
• Vignettes have been reorganised:
  • bean-overview — quickstart introduction.
  • data-preparation — preparing rasters and occurrences.
  • environmental-thinning — resolution selection and thinning.
  • niche-modeling — fitting ellipsoids and projecting suitability. All vignettes now build without requiring rgl.

CRAN readiness

• DESCRIPTION: trimmed Imports to MASS, stats, terra; moved rgl, ggplot2 and dplyr to Suggests (with dplyr removed entirely from the package — it was only used in one vignette).
• Added a tests/testthat/ test suite covering find_env_resolution(), thin_env_nd(), thin_env_center(), fit_ellipsoid() and predict.bean_ellipsoid().
• Datasets are now documented as user-visible (not \keyword{internal}).
• Replaced \dontrun{} examples that depended on missing files with \donttest{} examples that use the shipped sample data.
• prepare_bean() now uses match.arg() for transform.
• Cleaned up R/globals.R (was carrying many unused identifiers).

Minor

• print.bean_ellipsoid() output reformatted for clarity.
• Internal helper .bean_ellipse_polygon() consolidates the 2-D ellipse polygon code path used by both fit_ellipsoid() and plot.bean_ellipsoid().

bean 0.1.2

• Earlier development versions; see commit history on GitHub.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
