quadcleanR() is a customizable tool to clean up ecological data collected from quadrats. This package will aid you in cleaning, processing and assessing your quadrat data, as well as provide intuitive ways to add additional information to your data sets. If you work with quadrat data (or similar data), this package will help to speed up the cleaning of your data so you can spend your time on further analyses.
#currently quadcleanR is in the development phase and can only be
#downloaded from GitHub directly:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("DominiqueMaucieri/quadcleanR")
There are three vignettes included with this package which will walk through different examples of cleaning quadrat data. The Simple Cleaning Quadrat Data vignette will produce data which can be explored with this example shiny app.
