The R package vernabota allows gapfilling missing botanical names using vernacular names, in the case of Guyafor census data. The objective is to obtain a chosen number of simulated communities for which individuals only identified with a vernacular name are given a botanical name based on probabilities of association of vernacular and botanical names.
Before the first use, the package needs to be installed from GitHub:
remotes::install_github("EcoFoG/vernabota", build_vignettes = TRUE)
It can then be loaded.
library(vernabota)
A quick introduction is in vignette("vernabota").
