Given the data or a subset of the helminth interaction data
(see `loadData()`), perform various cleaning functions on the
data, including validation of species names, run taxize on
hosts (again, as there are already host and parasite taxonomic
variables as part of this data.frame , and remove
records only to genus level.
Usage
cleanData(data, speciesOnly = FALSE, validateHosts = FALSE)
Arguments
- data
helminth interaction data
- speciesOnly
boolean flag to remove host and parasite species
where data are only available at genus level (default = FALSE)
- validateHosts
boolean flag to check host species names
against Catalogue of Life information and output taxonomic
information (default = FALSE)
Value
data.frame with cleaned data
Details
Use data(locations) for a list of possible locations.
