GeoThinneR 2.0.0

Breaking changes. This version is backward-incompatible with earlier versions of GeoThinneR.

Major changes

• Introduced a new GeoThinned S3 class to represent thinning results. All calls to thin_points() now return a GeoThinned object instead of a list of logical vectors or data frames.
• Added new helper methods for GeoThinned objects:
  • print() and summary() for inspection.
  • plot() for visual comparison of thinned vs. original data.
  • largest() to retrieve the trial with the most retained points.
  • largest_index() to get the index of the best trial.
  • get_trial() to access specific trials.
• Redesigned thin_points() to return structured output and provide a more consistent user interface.
• Output structure and behavior of all thinning methods has been updated for compatibility with the new object-oriented design.
• We have improved the thinning algorithms by implementing two new modifications of the kd-tree method: local kd-trees (local_kd_tree) and restricted search (k_estimation).
• The round and hashing method (round_hash) now is deprecated and has been removed from the package because of presenting lower accuracy than the other distance-based methods.
• The thinning method argument method now includes the three main thinning strategies implemented in GeoThinneR for better understanding and usability. These are: “distance”, “grid”, and “precision”.
• The search_type argument has been included for distance-based thinning (method = "distance") to select between the search algorithms (“brute”, “kd_tree”, “local_kd_tree”, and “k_estimation”).
• The n argument for the grid-based thinning (method = "grid") now lets you specify the number of points to retain per grid cell.

Minor changes

• The long_col argument now is called lon_col for consistency with the lat_col argument.
• The default column names (lon_col and `lat_col’) have been changed from “decimalLongitude” and “decimalLatitude” to “lon” and “lat”.
• Improved documentation, error messages, and reproducibility behavior across all functions.
• Updated the package vignette to reflect all changes.

GeoThinneR 1.1.0

• Removed non-CRAN dependency (rtree) and associated functions related to R-Trees structure thinning method (r_tree_thinning()).
• Minor improvements to documentation.
