dilp

The goal of dilp is to help with analysis of quantitative fossil leaf traits. Key functions included are:

• Digital Leaf Physiognomy - dilp()

  • Estimate mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation using multiple linear regressions.

• Fossil Leaf Mass per Area - lma()

  • Reconstruct leaf mass per area using leaf area and petiole width

• Leaf Margin Analysis - temp_slr()

  • Estimate mean annual temperature using leaf margin analysis

• Leaf Area Analysis - precip_slr()

  • Estimate mean annual precipitation using leaf area analysis

Installation

You can install the stable version of dilp from your R session with:

install.packages("dilp")

You can install the development version of dilp from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mjbutrim/dilp")
