Check and Prepare Data for Model Fitting

Description

Cleans and prepares community, abiotic, and coordinate data for HMSC model fitting, with optional age subsetting.

Usage 

check_and_prepare_data_for_fit(
  data_community = NULL,
  data_abiotic = NULL,
  data_coords = NULL,
  subset_age = NULL
)

Arguments

data_community

A data frame of community data in wide format, with sample names as row names in the format "dataset_name__age".

data_abiotic

A data frame of abiotic data with sample names as row names in the format "dataset_name__age", and abiotic variables as columns.

data_coords

A data frame of spatial coordinates with dataset names as row names and columns for longitude and latitude.

subset_age

Optional numeric value specifying a single age to subset the data. If NULL (default), all ages are included.

Details

Drops NA values, optionally subsets by age, and finds the intersection of samples across community, abiotic, and coordinate data to ensure all inputs are aligned before model fitting.

Value

A list with four elements: ‘data_community_to_fit’, ‘data_abiotic_to_fit’, ‘data_coords_to_fit’, and ‘scale_attributes’. All data frames are aligned to the intersecting set of datasets and ages. ‘scale_attributes’ is a named list of centering and scaling attributes for each abiotic variable.
