Package 'taxa'

Title: Classes for Storing and Manipulating Taxonomic Data
Description: Provides classes for storing and manipulating taxonomic data. Most of the classes can be treated like base R vectors (e.g. can be used in tables as columns and can be named). Vectorized classes can store taxon names and authorities, taxon IDs from databases, taxon ranks, and other types of information. More complex classes are provided to store taxonomic trees and user-defined data associated with them.

Value matching for taxa package

Description

A wrapper for the base value matching %in% that is used to take into consideration features of the taxa package.

Usage

x %in% table

Arguments

x

vector or NULL: the values to be matched. Long vectors are supported.

table

vector or NULL: the values to be matched against. Long vectors are not supported.


Convert a taxa object to a data.frame

Description

Convert the information in a taxa object to a data.frame using base R vectors as columns. Use as_tibble to convert to tibbles.

Usage

as_data_frame(
  x,
  row.names = NULL,
  optional = FALSE,
  ...,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

An object defined by taxa, such as taxon or taxon_id

row.names

NULL or a character vector giving the row names for the data frame. Missing values are not allowed.

optional

logical. If TRUE, setting row names and converting column names (to syntactic names: see make.names) is optional. Note that all of R's base package as.data.frame() methods use optional only for column names treatment, basically with the meaning of data.frame(*, check.names = !optional). See also the make.names argument of the matrix method.

...

additional arguments to be passed to or from methods.

stringsAsFactors

logical: should the character vector be converted to a factor?

Examples

x <- taxon(name = c('Homo sapiens', 'Bacillus', 'Ascomycota', 'Ericaceae'),
           rank = c('species', 'genus', 'phylum', 'family'),
           id = taxon_id(c('9606', '1386', '4890', '4345'), db = 'ncbi'),
           auth = c('Linnaeus, 1758', 'Cohn 1872', NA, 'Juss., 1789'))
as_data_frame(x)

Convert to a taxon vector

Description

Convert other objects to taxon vectors. Compatible base R vectors can also be converted using the taxon constructor.

Usage

as_taxon(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object to be converted to a taxon vector

...

Additional parameters.

  • The regular expression that defines valid taxon IDs

  • The ranks used in the database if specified
