accessibility v1.0.0
The package has been to tremendous changes. Basically, there's not a single
part of it that remained untouched: documentation, vignettes, function names,
parameter names, extra functionality, performance improvements, etc. While it
is impossible to highlight everything that has been done, we'll try to summary
some of the key points in the following topics.
Breaking changes
- Accessibility functions previously worked with a single input dataset:
data
. Now they require two input datasets:travel_matrix
and
land_use_data
. - Function names were changed:
time_to_closest()
->cost_to_closest()
cumulative_time_cutoff()
->cumulative_cutoff()
cumulative_time_interval()
->cumulative_interval()
gravity_access()
->gravity()
- Parameter names were changed:
opportunity_col
->opportunity
travel_cost_col
->travel_cost
by_col
->active
- In
cost_to_closest()
:n_opportunities
->n
- In
cumulative_interval()
:stat
->summary_function
- In
floating_catchment_area()
:population_col
->demand
- In
floating_catchment_area()
:fca_metric
->method
- Parameter required values were changed:
active
now takes alogical
, instead of a string (whichby_col
previously took).- In
cumulative_interval()
:summary_function
now takes afunction
,
instead of a string (whichstat
previously took).
New features
- New function
decay_stepped()
. - New parameter
interval_increment
tocumulative_interval()
, used to
specify how many travel cost units separate the cutoffs used to calculate the
accessibility estimates which will be used to calculate the summary estimate
within the specified interval. - All accessibility functions gained a
group_by
parameter, that allows
accessibility estimates to be grouped by one or more columns present in
travel_matrix
. - All accessibility functions (but
cumulative_interval()
) gained a
fill_missing_ids
parameter, that includes in the results origins whose
accessibility would be 0 but, due to some commonly overlooked implementation
details, are usually left out from the output.cumulative_interval()
doesn't
have this parameter because its result will always include all origins,
otherwise the summary measure wouldn't be calculated properly.
