allstats2: Calculate all characteristic stats for a site
In discharge: Fourier Analysis of Discharge Data

Description Usage Arguments Value Note See Also Examples

Calculates all parameters at once for a single data file. The output gives numerical results from the functions annualnoise, fourierAnalysis, lp3Events,sigmaHighFlows, and sigmaLowFlows.

1 2	allstats(file.name, river.name, file.type="txt", date.col=3, discharge.col=4, skipped.rows=28)

`file.name`	Character string of the form "file.txt" or "file.csv".
`river.name`	Character string specifying river name.
`file.type`	Character string, "txt" or "csv". Defaults to "txt".
`date.col`	Numeric specifying column containing date in "MM-DD-YYYY" format. Defaults to 3.
`discharge.col`	Numeric specifying column containing discharge data. Defaults to 4.
`skipped.rows`	Numeric indicating number of rows to skip at beginning of file.

A data frame with columns

`a.rms`	Root mean squared amplitude.
`n.rms`	Root mean squared noise.
`snr`	Signal-to-noise ratio.
`theta.d`	Daily noise color.
`theta.a`	Annual noise color.
`sigma.lf`	Sigma for low flow events.
`sigma.hf`	Sigma for high flow events.
`q2`	2-year return level (flood).
`q10`	10-year return level (flood).
`l2`	2-year return level (drought).
`l10`	10-year return level (drought).

The arguments "date.col", "discharge.col", and "skipped.rows" are designed to give some flexibility in file input; however, tab-delimited text without extra columns will likely work best.
