shaker-class: Class containing Cocktail algorithms.
Description
Objects used for collecting Cocktail definitions.
Arguments
Slots
pseudos
List containing IDs of taxa that will be merged into
pseudo-species.
groups
List containing IDs of taxa belonging to the same Cocktail group.
dominants
data frame including lists of species used as dominant species
in Cocktail algorithms, as well as operators and cover values used in the
formulas.
formulas
List with formulas that will be used as definitions for
vegetation units.
Details
These objects work as expert systems for recognition of defined
vegetation units among plots of a '>vegtable object.
A 'shaker' object will be always dependent on a
'>vegtable object, which is called 'companion'.
Since modifications in the companion may affect the functionality of
the 'shaker' object, it will be recommended to create the last during a
session by a source script instead of recycling them from old R images.
