To use this function, the user must choose a column, probably "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters" and a threshold above which occurrences will be flagged for geographic uncertainty.
coordUncerFlagR(
data = NULL,
uncerColumn = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
threshold = NULL
)
A data frame or tibble. Occurrence records as input.
Character. The column to flag uncertainty in.
Numeric. The uncertainty threshold. Values equal to, or greater than, this threshold will be flagged.
The input data with a new column, .uncertaintyThreshold.
# Run the function
beesRaw_out <- coordUncerFlagR(data = beesRaw,
uncerColumn = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
threshold = 1000)
#> \coordUncerFlagR:
#> Flagged 15 geographically uncertain records:
#> The column '.uncertaintyThreshold' was added to the database.
# View the output
table(beesRaw_out$.uncertaintyThreshold, useNA = "always")

#> FALSE TRUE <NA>
