Classify diameters in classes — silv_diametric

Classifies the measured diameters into classes of a specified length

Usage

silv_diametric_class(
  x,
  dmin = 7.5,
  dmax = NULL,
  class_length = 5,
  include_lowest = TRUE,
  return_intervals = FALSE
)

Arguments

x: A numeric vector of diameters
dmin: The minimum inventory diameter in centimeters
dmax: The maximum inventory diameter in centimeters. Values that are greater than `dmax` are included in the greatest class
class_length: The length of the class in centimeters
include_lowest: Logical. If TRUE (the default), the intervals are `[dim1, dim2)`. If FALSE, the intervals are `(dim1, dim2]`
return_intervals: If FALSE, it returns the intervals. Otherwise (the default), it returns the class center

Value

A numeric vector
