trashbirdecology / bbsebird

integration and Bayesian modeling of North American BBS and eBird data

I am a scientist and so can you.

bbsebird's Issues

[tests wish list] list of tests on the wish-list

• crs, projection, and re-projection tests to overlay of data on grid cells/study area
• data loss during munge_XXX functions
• [ ]

[wish list] spatial stuff

Currently, package is limited to political boundaries.

Wish list of following:

• add bcrs/other ecological units
• add boundary buffering system prior to generating the grid cells
• fws / doi regions
• relevant canadian management units
• habitat / biogeographic layers
• create study area (and subsequent spatial layers) as rasters and not polys

[wish list] other bird data

a wish list of easy accommodation for the following data sources:

• easily incorporate BBL data
• IMBCR data
• CBC data
• CMR data/ cam trap p/a data
• GBIF outputs of presence-only data

add note about readme

TO-DO

To do

• create a lookup table for linking AOU codes, bbsAssistant::species_list, and eBird filenames (spp.abbr)
• create a test within id_ebird_files or munge_ebird_data to ensure that the sampling_relMM-YYYY matches the MM-YYYY on the observations
• add function to create a single data table for ebird and bbs counts/covars
• fix binding variables warnings (need to see which are worth adding to globalVariables())
• fix make_bbs_spatial to allow data integration over the spatial grid for people without access to route shapefiles (and add note on obtaining/access for shapefiles...)
• update README to include data munging + analysis + eBird and BBS route file requirements, download instructions, and filepaths.
• test full EBD file sampling on an HPC (run out of RAM when trying to grab obs for 1 spp and all of US)
