**CoordinateCleaner has been updated to version 3.0 on github and on CRAN to adapt to the retirement of sp and raster. The update may not be compatible with analysis-pipelines build with version 2.x***

Automated flagging of common spatial and temporal errors in biological and palaeontological collection data, for the use in conservation, ecology and palaeontology. Specifically includes tests for

* General coordinate validity
* Country and province centroids
* Capital coordinates
* Coordinates of biodiversity institutions
* Spatial outliers
* Temporal outliers
* Coordinate-country discordance
* Duplicated coordinates per species
* Assignment to the location of the GBIF headquarters
* Urban areas
* Seas
* Plain zeros
* Equal longitude and latitude
* Rounded coordinates
* DDMM to DD.DD coordinate conversion errors
* Large temporal uncertainty (fossils)
* Equal minimum and maximum ages (fossils)
* Spatio-temporal outliers (fossils)

CoordinateCleaner can be particularly useful to improve data quality when using data from GBIF (e.g. obtained with [rgbif]( https://github.com/ropensci/rgbif)) or the Paleobiology database (e.g. obtained with [paleobioDB](https://github.com/ropensci/paleobioDB)) for historical biogeography (e.g. with [BioGeoBEARS](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BioGeoBEARS) or [phytools](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=phytools)), automated conservation assessment (e.g. with [speciesgeocodeR](https://github.com/azizka/speciesgeocodeR/wiki) or [conR](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ConR)) or species distribution modelling (e.g. with [dismo](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=dismo) or [sdm](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=sdm)). See [scrubr](https://github.com/ropensci-archive/scrubr) and [taxize](https://github.com/ropensci/taxize) for complementary taxonomic cleaning or [biogeo](https://github.com/cran/biogeo) for correcting spatial coordinate errors.

See [News](https://github.com/ropensci/CoordinateCleaner/blob/master/NEWS.md) for update information.

# Installation
## Stable from CRAN

```r
install.packages("CoordinateCleaner")
library(CoordinateCleaner)
```

## Developmental from GitHub
```r
devtools::install_github("ropensci/CoordinateCleaner")
library(CoordinateCleaner)
```

# Usage
A simple example:

```r
# Simulate example data
minages <- runif(250, 0, 65)
exmpl <- data.frame(species = sample(letters, size = 250, replace = TRUE),
decimalLongitude = runif(250, min = 42, max = 51),
decimalLatitude = runif(250, min = -26, max = -11),
min_ma = minages,
max_ma = minages + runif(250, 0.1, 65),
dataset = "clean")

# Run record-level tests
rl <- clean_coordinates(x = exmpl)
summary(rl)
plot(rl)

# Dataset level
dsl <- clean_dataset(exmpl)

# For fossils
fl <- clean_fossils(x = exmpl,
taxon = "species",
lon = "decimalLongitude",
lat = "decimalLatitude")
summary(fl)

# Alternative example using the pipe
library(tidyverse)

cl <- exmpl %>%
cc_val()%>%
cc_cap()%>%
cd_ddmm()%>%
cf_range(lon = "decimalLongitude",
lat = "decimalLatitude",
taxon ="species")
```
