Load SHARK4R statistics from GitHub

This function downloads and loads precomputed SHARK4R statistical data (e.g., threshold or summary statistics) directly from the SHARK4R-statistics GitHub repository. The data are stored as .rds files and read into R as objects.

Usage

load_shark4r_stats(file_name = "sea_basin.rds", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

file_name

Character string specifying the name of the .rds file to download. Defaults to "sea_basin.rds".

verbose

Logical; if TRUE (default), prints progress messages during download and loading.

Value

An R object (typically a tibble or data.frame) read from the specified .rds file.

Details

The function retrieves the file from the GitHub repository’s data/ folder. It temporarily downloads the file to the local system and then reads it into R using readRDS().

If the download fails (e.g., due to a network issue or invalid filename), the function throws an error with a descriptive message.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Load the default SHARK4R statistics file
stats <- load_shark4r_stats()

# Load a specific file
thresholds <- load_shark4r_stats("scientific_name.rds")
} # }
