Estimate the load using the Beale ratio methods (Quilbe' et al., 2006). The bias correction factor and the subsequent load estimation are calculated monthly or annually based on the user's specification in the 'period' argument.
1 | beale.period(db, ncomp, period)
|
db |
An input data frame with at least three column. A column with DateTime in standard format (yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS) labeled "datetime", a column with continuous flow records in cubic meter per second labeled "flow", and columns with scattered concentration data in milligram per litre. Alternatively, it can be used the output matrix of the function db.union. |
ncomp |
Number of compounds in the input data frame for which the load must be estimated. |
period |
A mandatory argument that specify the time period in which the regression relationship must be calculated. It can be "month" for a monthly estimation of load, or it can be "year" for annual estimation of load. |
A matrix with the estimated load for the different compounds. If the optional argument is equal to "month", the load values are reported by month in different rows. If the optional argument is equal to "year", the load values are reported by year in different rows. The load is expressed in gram per period of estimation.
