dahstat: Extract series or statistics of the homogenized data

In climatol: Climate Tools (Series Homogenization and Derived Products)

Extract series or statistics of the homogenized data

Description

Lists series, means, medians, standard deviations, quantiles or trends, for a specified period, from series homogenized by homogen.

Usage

dahstat(varcli, anyi, anyf, anyip=anyi, anyfp=anyf, stat="me", ndc=NA, vala=2,
valm=vala, cod=NULL, prob=.5, all=FALSE, long=FALSE, relref=FALSE, pernyr=10,
estcol=c(1,2,4), sep=',', dec='.')

Arguments

varcli	Short name of the studied climatic variable, as in the data file name.
anyi	Initial year of the homogenized period.
anyf	Final year of the homogenized period.
anyip	First year of the period to analyze. (Defaults to anyi).
anyfp	Last year of the period to analyze. (Defaults to anyf).
stat	Statistical parameter to compute for the selected period: "me": Means (default), "mdn" Medians, "max" Maxima, "min" Minima, "std" Standard deviations, "q" Quantiles (see the prob parameter), "tnd" OLS trends and their p-values, "series" Do not compute any statistic; only write homogenized series and flags into two CSV files. "mseries" As before, but output series in individual *.csv files. (Not applicable to daily series.)
ndc	Number of decimal places to be saved in the output file (defaults to that used in the homogenization).
vala	Annual values to compute from the sub-annual data: 0: None, 1: Sum, 2: Mean (default), 3: Maximum, 4: Minimum.
valm	Monthly values to calculate from sub-monthly data (defaults to vala): 1: Sum, 2: Mean, 3: Maximum, 4: Minimum.
cod	Vector of requested station codes (all by default).
prob	Probability for the computation of quantiles (0.5 by default, i.e., medians). You can set probabilities with more than 2 decimals, but the name of the output file will be identified with the rounded percentile.
all	If TRUE, all reconstructed series will be used. The default is FALSE, hence using only the series reconstructed from the last homogeneous subperiod.
long	If TRUE (the default is FALSE), only series reconstructed from the longest homogeneous subperiod will be used.
relref	If TRUE, statistics from reliable reference series will also be listed. (FALSE by default).
pernyr	Number of years on which to express trend units (10 by default).
estcol	Columns of the homogenized stations file to be included in the output file. (Defaults to c(1,2,4), the columns of station coordinates and codes).
sep	Field separator (',' by default).
dec	Decimal point ('.' by default).

Details

Homogenized data are read from the file ‘VAR_ANYI-ANYF.rda’ saved by homogen, while this function saves the computed data for the specified period in ‘VAR_ANYIP-ANYFP.STAT’, where STAT is substituted by the stat requested statistic. An exception is when stat="q", since then the extension of the output file will be qPP, where PP stands for the specified prob probability (in percent).

The output period ANYIP-ANYFP must of course be comprised within the period of the input data, ANYI-ANYF.

stat='tnd' computes trends by Ordinary Least Squares linear regression on time, listing them in a CSV file ‘*_tnd.csv’ and their p-values in ‘*_pval.csv’

If stat='series' is chosen, two text files in CSV format will be produced for every station, one with the data and another with their flags: 0 for original, 1 for infilled and 2 for corrected data.

Examples

## Set a temporal working directory:
wd <- tempdir()
wd0 <- setwd(wd)

## Copy an example file of homogenization results:
file.copy(exampleFiles('Temp_1991-2000.rda'),'.')

## Now run the examples:
dahstat('Temp', 1991, 2000)
dahstat('Temp', 1991, 2000, stat='q', prob=0.4)
dahstat('Temp', 1991, 2000, stat='tnd')
dahstat('Temp', 1991, 2000, stat='series')

## Return to user's working directory:
setwd(wd0)

## Input and output files can be found in directory:
print(wd)
