We can visualize the bbsBayes workflow with this flow chart of functions.

The functions are colour coded by category:

  • BBS Data - Blue
  • Data Prep - Pink
  • Modelling - Green
  • Exploring model trends and indices - Purple
  • General helper functions - Orange

Functions which are connected by a solid, black arrow, indicate that the output of the first function is required as input to the second. For example, the output of stratify() is required input for prepare_data().

Functions which are connected by a solid, grey arrow, indicate that the output of the first function is optional input to the second. For example, the output of grenerate_trends() is an option input for plot_geofacet().

Functions which are connected by a dotted arrow indicate that the first function can be used to create input for the second, but not necessarily directly. For example, fetch_bbs_data() downloads BBS data which is used by stratify(), but it isn’t an input. Alternatively, load_map() can load a spatial data file for a specific stratification which can be modified by the user and then used as input to prepare_spatial() or generate_indices().

See the Function Reference for more details on how to use a particular function.
