Source: R/fb_filter_species_by_trait_coverage.R
fb_filter_species_by_trait_coverage.Rd

Selects species (rows) for which the percentage of traits without NA (missing trait values) is higher than a threshold.

Usage

fb_filter_species_by_trait_coverage(
  species_traits,
  threshold_traits_proportion = 0
)

Arguments

species_traits

a data.frame with species in rows and traits as columns. NOTE: The first column should be named "species" and contain species names. The other columns should be named according to trait names.

threshold_traits_proportion

a numeric of length 1 between 0 and 1. The percentage of traits coverage threshold.

Value

A subset of species_traits with species covered by X% of traits.

Examples

library("funbiogeo")

data("species_traits")

# Filter species that have at least 60% of the traits described
new_species_traits <- fb_filter_species_by_trait_coverage(
  species_traits,
  threshold_traits_proportion = 0.6
)

# There are now only 93 species
nrow(new_species_traits)
#> [1] 93
