I just uploaded a new version of fossil to the CRAN website, with a number of changes. There are some fixes in the way the spp.est() function was handling abundance data, and I’ve added a small species/locality dataset that I used for a number of new examples in the package. I’m also currently working on a new clustering method to include, but it’s still being worked on at the moment. Hopefully it’ll be in the package before too long.
Enjoy!
I’ve been trying to prepare a manuscript for submission to Palaeontologia Electronica (PE), and as my workflow at the moment has been revolving around LaTeX, I took te plunge into creating my own custom bibliography style file in PE format. Luckily for me I could use the great makebst.tex file by Patrick W. Daly which simplified the process to a series of multiple choice questions. I somehow doubt that there is that many other palaeontologists using LaTeX for manuscript submissions, but anyhow here’s the palelec.bst file (I can’t upload .bst files to this site, so just copy and save the text in a text editor as palelec.bst). Hopefully it works, as I’ve been fighting a bit with WordPress to get it to render properly, but if need be, you can always contact me and I can send out a copy of the original .bst file.
UPDATED: This is a link to the original file.
