Methods for the alignment and merging of partially or inexactly aligned data.
important
align was renamed/repackaged as alignment after 2025-05-25. The v.0.0.7 package is retained here for anyone still using related code/method but is no longer being updated.
Users wanting most recent code should check out https://karlropkins.github.io/alignment/
Currently, not aware of any issues transitioning from align to alignment, but anyone with any problems with the newer package, please get in contact…
Installation
You can install the development version of align from GitHub.
(As well as R code, the package also includes some c++. So, if you have not used similar before you may need to install a compiler, for example Rtools if you are using Windows).
install.packages("devtools") #if you don't already have it
devtools::install_github("KarlRopkins/align")
