# Get started with funbiogeo

The aim of the `funbiogeo` package is to help users streamline the workflows in functional biogeography. It helps filter sites, species, and traits based on their trait coverage. It also provides default diagnostic plots and standard tables summarizing input data.

`funbiogeo` provides five vignettes to explain its functioning:

- An introduction to `funbiogeo` that describes its core features and guide you through a typical analysis.
- A vignette on all diagnostic plots provided in the package, which details how to use each plotting function and how to interpret their output.
- A vignette on the data format that `funbiogeo` needs, which shows you the use of specific functions to format your data to work well within `funbiogeo`.
- A vignette on data upscaling which explains how to leverage `funbiogeo` to aggregate automatically your data to coarser grain and use them in further analyses.
- A vignette focusing on special cases, e.g. how to work with categorical traits, or how to consider intraspefic trait variations.
