# Prepare data for the analysis. You will asked to choose between surber and artificial substrate methods. For the dataset oglio we will choose surber
oglio.prep <- data.prep(oglio)
# calculate aspt
aspt(oglio.prep)
# calculate STAR_ICMi index and its metrics. You will asked to choose the hydroecoregion,
oglio.open <- macropen(oglio.prep)
# select the results for further analysis
oglio.star <- oglio.open[[2]]
# calculate STAR_ICMi index and export an excel file of the results
oglio.open <- macropen(oglio.prep, writexlsx=T)
