auk_complete: Filter out incomplete checklists from the eBird data

Description

These checklists are the most valuable for scientific uses since they provide presence and absence data.This function only defines the filter and, once all filters have been defined, auk_filter() should be used to call AWK and perform the filtering.

Usage

auk_complete(x)

Arguments

x

auk_ebd or auk_sampling object; reference to file created by auk_ebd() or auk_sampling().

Value

An auk_ebd object.

Details
