This R package includes methods used to analyse trends in unstructured occurrence datasets and a range of useful functions for mapping such data in the UK. The package is currently under development.

Tutorials

---

We have developed tutorials for a few of the functions in the package:

• frescalo
• sparta

Installation

---

To install the development version of sparta, it's easiest to use the devtools package:

> # install.packages("devtools")
> # NOTE: If you have not installed devtools before you will need to restart you R
> # session before installing to avoid problems
>
> library(devtools)
> install_github("sparta", username = 'BiologicalRecordsCentre')
>
> library(sparta)

PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE THIS PACKAGE IS IN DEVELOPMENT THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PACKAGE ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE OVER TIME. WE WILL TRY TO KEEP THIS FRONT PAGE AND TUTORIALS UP TO DATE SO THAT IT WORKS WITH THE CURRENT MASTER VERSION ON GITHUB
