BioTIMEr - BioTIMEr version 0.3.0 CRAN

BioTIMEr 0.3.0 - 29.11.2025

Major Improvement

  • The package now uses data.table in the background for major speed
    and memory usage improvements. Resampling the whole BioTIME database used to
    take > 1 hour and now takes < 1 minute.
  • methods: gridding and resampling functions now handle data.frame,
    data.table and tibble objects with dedicated functions.
  • getAlphaMetrics and getBetaMetrics are faster and use 100x less memory.

New Features

  • In the resampling function:

    • new argument summarise, TRUE by default keeps previous behaviour.

      If TRUE, the abundance and/or biomass is summed per rarefyID while if FALSE
      the abundance and/or biomass will be summed per rarefyID/SAMPLE_DESC and gives
      more columns.

  • In the getAlphaMetrics and getBetaMetrics functions:

    • data.frames containing several resamplings are accepted

      If the provided data contain several resamplings, metrics will be computed
      per resampling, per assemblageID, per year.

  • In the getLinearRegressions function:

    • removed the divType argument.

      The function now reads the class of the objects produced by getAlphaMetrics
      and getBetaMetrics and computes the expected metrics.

Minor Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • In the themeBioTIME function:

    • argument lp is soft deprecated in favour of legend.position
    • argument fontSize is soft deprecated in favour of font.size
    • argument colx is soft deprecated in favour of axis.colour
    • argument coly is soft deprecated in favour of strip.background
    • the order of the arguments did not change.
