Installation

Software for the analysis is provided in R package format, see the functions in the R/ directory. These functions can be made avialable by installing the package in R, along with its dependencies.

library(devtools)
install_github("earlywarning", "cboettig")

The individual-based simulations occassionally used in the analysis require a seperate package,

install_github("populationdynamics", "cboettig")

Use

Examples for executing the analysis provided in the manuscript are found in inst/examples. Additional examples and some further exploration are found in inst/examples/appendices.

Data

Data files for the analyses contained in the publication are included as R objects as part of the package, see the data directory.
