Auxiliary function that generates an R wrapper around the main python function used to process the numerical matrix generated in meltt. Returns a summary of matched entries.
meltt.match(data, twindow, spatwindow, smartmatch, certainty, k,
secondary, partial, weight, episodal, silent)Returns a list object containing output of matching entries and a matrix of optimal selected matches.
numerical matrix passed from meltt.transform.
specification of temporal window in unit days passed from meltt.
specification of a spatial window in kilometers passed from meltt.
implement matching using all available taxonomy levels. When FALSE, matching will occur only on a specified taxonomy level passed from meltt.
specification of the the exact taxonomy level to match on when smartmatch = FALSE passed from meltt.
number of taxonomies passed from meltt.
vector of the number of taxonomy levels for each taxonomy passed from meltt.
specifies whether matches along less than the full taxonomy dimensions are permitted. Passed from meltt.
relative weight of each taxonomy in the calculation of the matching score. Passed from meltt.
boolean for wether normal or episodal matches are performed. Automatically determined and passed from meltt.
Boolean specifying whether or not messages are displayed. Passed from meltt.
