palaeoverse is an R package developed by palaeobiologists, for palaeobiologists.

The aim of palaeoverse is to generate a community-driven software package of generic functions for the palaeobiological community. The package does not provide implementations of statistical analyses, rather it provides auxiliary functions to help streamline analyses and improve code readability and reproducibility.

Installation

The stable version of palaeoverse can be installed from CRAN using:

install.packages("palaeoverse")

The development version of palaeoverse can be installed via GitHub using:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("palaeoverse/palaeoverse")
