The function preloads the 13 fire behavior fuel models by Albini (1976) and the 40 fuel models by Scott & Burgan (2005), computes rate of spread using Rothermel's (1972) model for a vector or data frame of fire experiment data, and computes root mean square error and mean bias of each fuel model to observed rate of spread.
1 | bestFM(obs, m, u, slope)
|
obs |
a single value, or vector, of observed ROS [m/min]. |
m |
a vector, or data frame, of percent moisture on a dry weight basis [percent] for fuel classes 1-hour, 10-hour, 100-hour, live herbs and live woody, respectively (5 values or columns; 0 if fuel class is absent). |
u |
a single value, or vector, of midflame windspeed [km/h]. |
slope |
a single value, or vector, of percent site slope [percent]. |
If a single observation of rate of spread is analyzed (length of obs =1), a vector of bias values, computed as (predicted - observed ROS) for every standard fire behavior fuel model. If more observations are analyzed (length of obs >1), a data.frame of root mean square error and mean bias computed from observed and predicted ROS using every standard fire behavior fuel model.
