mumarinex

The ‘mumarinex’ package aims to facilitate the computation of the multivariate marine recovery index, providing functions for data visualization and ecological diagnostics of marine ecosystems. The computational details are described in the original publication (please, see below for reference).

Installation

You can install the development version of mumarinex from CRAN or from GitHub, respectively with:

install.packages("mumarinex") # CRAN
