islandcodes 0.1.0

Initial CRAN release.

  • Bundled islands reference dataset: 250 countries and territories with classifications for SIDS, SNIJ, World Bank region and income group, political association, and the four small-island defining criteria.
  • Predicates is_sids(), is_snij(), is_small_island() accept country names, ISO codes, or the hyphenated BES sub-codes (BQ-BO, BQ-SE, BQ-SA).
  • island_lookup() and add_island_cols() for tidy joining onto research data.
  • small_islands() shorthand for filtered subsets.
  • aruba() — A.R.U.B.A. (Annotated Reference for Under-coded Border Areas): a convenience wrapper around island_lookup() with Aruba as the default. A homage to Edward Cheung’s A.R.U.B.A. (ASCS/NCS Relay Unit Breaker Assembly) on the Hubble Space Telescope.
  • Source data mirrored from github.com/University-of-Aruba/island-research-reference-data under CC BY 4.0.
