This package is an alternative to [`raster::resample()`](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/raster/versions/3.0-7/topics/resample) and downscales a raster to coarser resolution in a more efficient way (for large rasters).

## Installation

To install the package `downscaler` from GitHub, first install the package [`devtools`](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/devtools/index.html) from the CRAN.

```{r echo = TRUE,  eval = FALSE}
### Install the < devtools > package
install.packages("devtools", dependencies = TRUE)
```

Then install the `downscaler` package:

```{r echo = TRUE,  eval = FALSE}
### Install the < downscaler > package from GitHub
devtools::install_github("frbcesab/downscaler")

### Load the < downscaler > package
library(downscaler)
```

## Example

Type `?downscaler::downscale` for an example.
