Biological Condition Gradient, Calculator // Functions to calculate Biological Condition Gradient (BCG) using input files with one row per sample with metric values and site classes as columns. A second file with the BCG Rules (example included) to define the memberships is also needed. The three main functions convert metric scores to metric memberships following fuzzy set BCG Rules (BCG.Level.Assignment), combine metric memberships to level memberships according to BCG Rules (BCG.Level.Membership), and then assign a BCG primary and secondary level based on level memberships (BCG.Level.Assignment). Originally developed as a package for use with BCG for Puget Lowland/Willamette Valley but has been further enhanced for use with multiple communities (benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, periphyton, or coral) and different rule sets.
