This function performs a fuzzy match of genus names against the ppendemic database using fuzzyjoin::stringdist() to account for slight variations in spelling.
fuzzy_match_genus(
df,
target_df = NULL,
max_dist = 2,
save_ambiguous = FALSE,
ambiguous_path = "ambiguous_genera.csv"
)A tibble with two additional columns:
fuzzy_match_genus: A logical column indicating whether the genus was successfully matched (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
fuzzy_genus_dist: A numeric column representing the distance for each match.
A tibble containing the genus names to be matched.
A tibble representing the ppendemic database containing the reference list of endemic species.
Maximum edit distance used by fuzzyjoin::stringdist_* joins.
Logical flag. If TRUE, ambiguous fuzzy genus matches
are exported to disk.
File path used when save_ambiguous = TRUE. Defaults
to "ambiguous_genera.csv".
