bioregion

This R package gathers a comprehensive set of algorithms to perform bioregionalisation analyses.

Bioregionalisation methods can be based on hierarchical clustering algorithms, non-hierarchical clustering algorithms or network algorithms.

:arrow_double_down: Installation

The package can be installed with the following command line in R session:

From the CRAN

install.packages("bioregion")

or from GitHub

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bioRgeo/bioregion")

:scroll: Vignettes

We wrote several vignettes that will help you using the bioregion R package. Vignettes available are the following ones:

• 1. Installation of the executable binary files
  
• 2. Matrix and network formats
• 3. Pairwise similarity/dissimilarity metrics
• 4.1 Hierarchical clustering
• 4.2 Non-hierarchical clustering
• 4.3 Network clustering
• 4.4 Microbenchmark
• 5.1 Visualization
• 5.2 Compare partitions

Alternatively, if you prefer to view the vignettes in R, you can install the package with build_vignettes = TRUE. But be aware that some vignettes can be slow to generate.

remotes::install_github("bioRgeo/bioregion",
                        dependencies = TRUE, upgrade = "ask", 
                        build_vignettes = TRUE)

Thank you for finding it. Head over to the GitHub Issues tab and let us know about it. Alternatively, you can also send us an e-mail. We will try to get to it as soon as we can!
