A package to analyze long-term ecological community datasets.
Univariate and multivariate temporal and spatial diversity indices,
rank abundance curves, and community stability metrics. The functions
implement metrics that are either explicitly temporal and include the
option to calculate them over multiple replicates, or spatial and include
the option to calculate them over multiple time points. Functions fall into
five categories: static diversity indices, temporal diversity indices,
spatial diversity indices, rank abundance curves, and community stability
metrics. The diversity indices are temporal and spatial analogs to
traditional diversity indices. Specifically, the package includes functions
to calculate community richness, evenness and diversity at a given point in
space and time. In addition, it contains functions to calculate species
turnover, mean rank shifts, and lags in community similarity between two
time points.

## Installation
From CRAN, the package can be installed using standard tools:
```R
install.packages("codyn")
```
## Automated R CMD check with Docker via rhub
To simplify the process of running `R CMD check` on the package, one can easily run the build and tests using
the [`rhub`](https://github.com/r-hub/rhub) package. Use `rhub::platforms()` to get a list of platforms that can be used to build and test.
```r
library(rhub)
chks <- check(platform = c("debian-gcc-devel", "fedora-gcc-devel"), show_status = FALSE)
```
and the checks can be run locally using rhub as well using a docker container:
```r
library(rhub)
local_check_linux(image="rhub/fedora-gcc-devel")
```
