Flags coordinates for imprecision — jbd_coordinates

This function flags occurrences where BOTH latitude and longitude values are rounded. This contrasts with the original function, bdc::bdc_coordinates_precision() that will flag occurrences where only one of latitude OR longitude are rounded. The BeeBDC approach saves occurrences that may have had terminal zeros rounded in one coordinate column.

jbd_coordinates_precision(
  data,
  lat = "decimalLatitude",
  lon = "decimalLongitude",
  ndec = NULL,
  quieter = FALSE
)

Arguments

data: A data frame or tibble. Occurrence records as input.
lat: Character. The name of the column to use as latitude. Default = "decimalLatitude".
lon: Character. The name of the column to use as longitude. Default = "decimalLongitude".
ndec: Numeric. The number of decimal places to flag in decimal degrees. For example, argument value of 2 would flag occurrences with nothing in the hundredths place (0.0x).
quieter: Logical. If TRUE, the functino will run a little quieter. Default = FALSE.

Value

Returns the input data frame with a new column, .rou, where FALSE indicates occurrences that failed the test.

Examples

beesRaw_out <- jbd_coordinates_precision(
  data = BeeBDC::beesRaw,
  lon = "decimalLongitude",
  lat = "decimalLatitude",
    # number of decimals to be tested
  ndec = 2
)
#> jbd_coordinates_precision:
#> Flagged 30 records
#> The '.rou' column was added to the database.
table(beesRaw_out$.rou, useNA = "always")
#> 
#> FALSE  TRUE  <NA> 
#>    30    70     0
