pgirmess & pgirbric
Miscellaneous functions for data handling and analysis in ecology

Patrick Giraudoux

R Packages

pgirmess is a package of miscellaneous functions developped in R for data handling and analysis in ecology. They have been used in the course of on going researches carried out at the Department of Chrono-environment of the University of Franche-Comté as and when required sometimes with several contributors (mentioned in the documentation). The last stable version of this package can be downloaded from here and the beta version under developement if available.  The stable version and a pdf reference manual are also accessible via the CRAN project. The package name comes from the acronym Patrick GIRaudoux MESS (the content reality and an indirect hommage to more essential packages, eg MASS, etc.). The best we can is done to optimise each function and pgir must be blamed for any misworking.

pgirbric is a package with functions not intended to be published on CRAN for some reasons (eg too much device specific or still to improve or deprecated in other packages, etc.). The name is an acronym of Patrick GIRaudoux BRIColage, the latter a French name for 'do-it-yourself' which may be another kind of mess, or for BRICk, some functions seen as brick to build something more general later. Same comments as above about misworkings.

Working prototypes of shell scripts to run within GRASS 63 or > 

Those files must be copied into a folder visible with  PATH  eg. under linux have a "scripts" folder in your home directory and add GRASS_ADDON_PATH=~/scripts to /usr/lib/grass/etc/Init.sh.  To specify rights e.g. chmod a+x r.what.buff2 before running it may be necessary.


r.what.vbuff2  generates a text file of the frequency of each category
of a raster map within various radius buffers computed on vector point sites. A circular buffer is created around each point location of the vector file and the final output is text file of 4 columns: col 1 = radius, col 2 = point ID, col 3 = pixel category value, col 4 = pixel count corresponding to this value.  Category * is the null value.

r.what.vpoly  permits to generate a text file of the frequency of each category of a raster map for areas covered by polygon vector objects. The output is a text file of 3 columns: col 1 = polygon ID number, col 2 = category value, col 3 = pixel count corresponding to this category.  Category * is the null value.

I am often asked which procedure is used for multiple comparisons in kruskalmc.  You'll find a citation of "Siegel and Castellan (1988) Non parametric statistics for the behavioural sciences. MacGraw Hill Int., New York. pp 213-214"  here.
