runSurvReg: Run the weighted survival regression for a set of estimation...

In EGRET: Exploration and Graphics for RivEr Trends

Run the weighted survival regression for a set of estimation points (defined by DecYear and Log(Q))

Description

This function runs the survival regression which is the concentration estimation method of WRTDS. It uses sample data from the data frame Sample. It does the estimation for a set of data points defined by two vectors: estPtYear and estPtLQ. It returns an array of results for the estimation points. The array returned contains yHat, SE and ConcHat (in that order). yHat is the expected value of log(concentration), SE is the standard error of log(concentration) and ConcHat is the expected value of concentration.

Usage

runSurvReg(estPtYear, estPtLQ, DecLow, DecHigh, Sample, windowY = 7,
  windowQ = 2, windowS = 0.5, minNumObs = 100, minNumUncen = 50,
  verbose = TRUE, interactive = NULL, edgeAdjust = TRUE,
  run.parallel = FALSE)

run_WRTDS(estY, estLQ, localSample, DecLow, DecHigh, minNumObs, minNumUncen,
  windowY, windowQ, windowS, edgeAdjust)

Arguments

estPtYear	numeric vector of Decimal Year values at the estimation points
estPtLQ	numeric vector of ln(Q) values at the estimation points, must be the same length as estPtYear
DecLow	number specifying minimum decimal year (left edge of the estimated surfaces).
DecHigh	number specifying maximum decimal year (right edge of the estimated surfaces).
Sample	dataframe created for EGRET analysis
windowY	numeric specifying the half-window width in the time dimension, in units of years, default is 7
windowQ	numeric specifying the half-window width in the discharge dimension, units are natural log units, default is 2
windowS	numeric specifying the half-window with in the seasonal dimension, in units of years, default is 0.5
minNumObs	numeric specifying the miniumum number of observations required to run the weighted regression, default is 100
minNumUncen	numeric specifying the minimum number of uncensored observations to run the weighted regression, default is 50
verbose	logical specifying whether or not to display progress message
interactive	logical deprecated. Use 'verbose' instead
edgeAdjust	logical specifying whether to use the modified method for calculating the windows at the edge of the record. The modified method tends to reduce curvature near the start and end of record. Default is TRUE.
run.parallel	logical to run bootstrapping in parallel or not
estY	numeric decimal year values at the estimation point
estLQ	numeric ln(Q) values at the estimation point
localSample	"Sample" data frame from the eList.

Value

resultSurvReg numeric array containing the yHat, SE, and ConcHat values array dimensions are (numEstPts,3)

Examples

eList <- Choptank_eList
estPtYear<-c(2001.0,2005.0,2009.0)
estPtLQ<-c(1,1,1)
Sample <- getSample(eList)
DecLow <- Sample$DecYear[1]
DecHigh <- Sample$DecYear[nrow(Sample)]
resultSurvReg <- runSurvReg(estPtYear,estPtLQ,
                            DecLow,DecHigh,Sample,
                            run.parallel = FALSE)
