tgraph

Function to create a tgraph representation of a
hierarchically organised dataframe. This is the focal
object of the t* functions - the complete set of
hierarchical relationships between a set of elements

Functions to automate the detection and resolution of taxonomic and stratigraphic errors in fossil occurrence datasets. Functions were developed using data from the Paleobiology Database.

tgraph function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>A dataframe containing a set of hierarchical
relationships. The leftmost column contains the
elements which will form the highest rank, followed
rightwards by successive ranks</dd>
<dt>ranks</dt>
<dd>If not NULL, a vector of column names of x,
given in rank order. This is useful if x contains
columns which are not rank relevant or if columns are
not in hierarchical order. If not supplied, the
column order in x is used directly and is assumed to
be in rank order</dd>
<dt>verbose</dt>
<dd>A logical indicating whether the
progress of tgraph construction should be reported
to the console</dd></dl>
