Getting source profile(s) from the local respeciate archives.
rsp(..., include.refs = FALSE, source = "all")
rsp_profile(...)The function assumes all inputs (except include.refs
and source) are profile identifiers: namely, PROFILE_CODE
and Species.Id in SPECIATE and SPECIEUROPE, respectively, or
potential sources of profile information and requests these
form the local respeciate archives. Typically, simple
objects like character and numeric vectors, as assumed to be profile
identifiers and composite data-types like respeciate or
data.frame objects are assumed to contain a column named
.profile.id, the respeciate equivalent of PROFILE_CODE
and Species.Id. All recovered identifiers are requested
and unrecognized ids (and duplicates) are ignored.
logical, if profile reference information should be
included when extracting the requested profile(s) from the archive, default
FALSE.
character, the local archive to request a profile from:
'us' US EPA SPECIATE, 'eu' EU JRC SPECIEUROPE, or 'all'
(the default) both.
rsp_profile or the short-hand rsp return an object of
respeciate class, a data.frame containing one or more profile
from the local respeciate archive.
The option include.refs adds profile source reference
information to the returned respeciate data set. The default option
is to not include these because some SPECIATE profiles have several
associated references and including these replicates records, once per
reference.
respeciate code is written to handle this but if you are developing
own methods or code and include references in any profile build you may be
biasing some analyses in favor of those multiple-reference profile unless
you check and account such cases.
