(Committed 2015-11-23)

Modified functions:

• fuzzyRangeChange:
  • corrected proportional changes to be relative to reference range size, not total study area
  • replaced “stable” with “stable presence” and added (fuzzy equivalent of) “stable absence”
  • replaced “change” with “balance” (overall loss/gain, not amount of changed cells)
  • result is now data frame, not named vector
