FingR: A Support for Sediment Source Fingerprinting Studies

The fingR package is a comprehensive package designed to support Sediment Source Fingerprinting studies. It provides essentials tools including: dataset characterisation, tracer selection from analysed properties through the Three-step method, model source contributions modelling with the Bayesian Mixing Model (BMM), and assessment of modelling predictions prediction though the use of virtual mixtures, supporting BMM and MixSIAR models. Furthermore, the BMM model supports the use of isotopic ratios as tracers.

The fingR package is available on GitHub (https://github.com/tchalauxclergue/fingR) and archived on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8293595) (here).
