A Null Model Algorithm to Analyze Cyclical Data in Ecology

Implements a null model analysis to quantify concurrent temporal niche overlap (i.e., activity or phenology) among biological identities (e.g., individuals, populations, species) using the Rosario randomization algorithm (Castro-Arellano et al. 2010) .

rosario

The rosario package provides tools to quantify and visualize temporal niche overlap using Pianka and Czekanowski indices, and to simulate null models with the ROSARIO algorithm (Castro-Arellano et al. 2010).

Installation

You can install the development version of rosario from GitHub with:

# Install devtools if you don't have it
install.packages("devtools")

# Install rosario from GitHub
devtools::install_github("alrobles/rosario")

You can also get the official release version from CRAN

install.packages("rosario")
