align_first_observation

align_first_observation

align_by_first_observation(observation_one, observation_two, custom_table)

Arguments

observation_one

a vector of plant fucntional types, or species. Provides species/pft names.
observation_two

another vector of plant fucntional types, or species. Provides the order.
custom_table

a table that either maps two pft's to one another or maps custom species codes to bety id codes. In the second case, must be passable to match_species_id.

Value

vector Returns a vector of PFT's/species from observation_one that matches the order of observation_two

Examples

# NOT RUN {
observation_one<-c("AMCA3","AMCA3","AMCA3","AMCA3")
observation_two<-c("a", "b", "a", "a")

table<-list()
table$plant_functional_type_one<- c("AMCA3","AMCA3","ARHY", "ARHY")
table$plant_functional_type_two<- c('a','a','b', 'b') # PFT groupings
table<-as.data.frame(table)

aligned<-align_by_first_observation(observation_one = observation_one, observation_two = observation_two,
custom_table = table)

# aligned should be a vector '[1] "AMCA3" "ARHY"  "AMCA3" "AMCA3"'
# }
