ecomix: Finite mixture models for multiple species grouping of ecological data

ecomix is a package to implement statistical models on multivariate species data. Two main type of finite mixture models are available which group multivariate data at the species level (Species Archetype Models; using the species_mix functions) or site level (Region of Common Profiles; using the regional_mix functions).

Installation

The development version of ecomix can be installed from GitHub using the devtools package:

devtools::install_github('skiptoniam/ecomix')
library(ecomix)

An example vignette on how to run and interpret a Species Archetype Models (species_mix) is provided within the package or can be viewed at https://skiptoniam.github.io/ecomix/articles/SAM-example.html

An example vignette on how to run and interpret a Region of Common Profiles model (regional_mix) is provided with the package or can be viewed at https://skiptoniam.github.io/ecomix/articles/RCP-example.html
