#' Make a climatology from a daily time series.
#'
#' Creates a daily climatology from a time series of daily temperatures using a
#' user-specified sliding window for the mean and threshold calculation, followed
#' by an optional moving average smoother as used by Hobday et al. (2016).
#'
#' @import Rcpp
#'
#' @importFrom data.table %between%
#' @useDynLib heatwaveR
#'
#' @param data A data frame with two columns. In the default setting (i.e. omitting
#' the arguments \code{x} and \code{y}; see immediately below), the data set is
#' expected to have the headers \code{t} and \code{temp}. The \code{t} column is a
#' vector of dates of class \code{Date}, while \code{temp} is the measured variable
#' (by default it is assumed to be temperature).
#' @param x This column is expected to contain a vector of dates. If a column
#' headed \code{t} is present in the dataframe, this argument may be omitted;
#' otherwise, specify the name of the column with dates here.
#' @param y This is a column containing the measurement variable. If the column
#' name differs from the default (i.e. \code{temp}), specify the name here.
#' @param climatologyPeriod Required. To this argument should be passed two values
#' (see example below). The first value should be the chosen date for the start of
#' the climatology period, and the second value the end date of said period. This
#' chosen period (preferably 30 years in length) is then used to calculate the
#' seasonal cycle and the extreme value threshold.
#' @param robust This argument has been deprecated and no longer has affects how
#' the function operates.
#' @param maxPadLength Specifies the maximum length of days over which to
#' interpolate (pad) missing data (specified as \code{NA}) in the input
#' temperature time series; i.e., any consecutive blocks of NAs with length
#' greater than \code{maxPadLength} will be left as \code{NA}. The default is
#' \code{FALSE}. Set as an integer to interpolate. Setting \code{maxPadLength}
#' to \code{TRUE} will return an error.
#' @param windowHalfWidth Width of sliding window about day-of-year (to one
#' side of the center day-of-year) used for the pooling of values and
#' calculation of climatology and threshold percentile. Default is \code{5}
#' days, which gives a window width of 11 days centred on the 6th day of the
#' series of 11 days.
#' @param pctile Threshold percentile (\%) for detection of events (MHWs).
#' Default is \code{90}th percentile. Should the intent be to use these
#' threshold data for MCSs, set \code{pctile = 10}. Or some other low value.
#' @param smoothPercentile Boolean switch selecting whether to smooth the
#' climatology and threshold percentile time series with a moving average of
#' \code{smoothPercentileWidth}. Default is \code{TRUE}.
#' @param smoothPercentileWidth Full width of moving average window for smoothing
#' climatology and threshold. The default is \code{31} days.
#' @param clmOnly Choose to calculate and return only the climatologies.
#' The default is \code{FALSE}.
#' @param var This argument has been introduced to allow the user to choose if
#' the variance of the seasonal signal per doy should be calculated. The default of
#' \code{FALSE} will prevent the calculation, potentially increasing speed of calculations
#' on gridded data and reducing the size of the output. The variance was initially
#' introduced as part of the standard output from Hobday et al. (2016), but few
#' researchers use it and so it is generally regarded now as unnecessary.
#' @param roundClm This argument allows the user to choose how many decimal places
#' the \code{seas} and \code{thresh} outputs will be rounded to. Default is 4. To
#' prevent rounding set \code{roundClm = FALSE}. This argument may only be given
#' numeric values or FALSE.
#'
#' @details
#' \enumerate{
#' \item This function assumes that the input time series consists of continuous
#' daily values with few missing values. Time ranges which start and end
#' part-way through the calendar year are supported.
#' \item It is recommended that a period of at least 30 years is specified in
#' order to produce a climatology that smooths out any decadal thermal
#' periodicities that may be present. It is further advised that full the start
#' and end dates for the climatology period result in full years, e.g.
#' "1982-01-01" to "2011-12-31" or "1982-07-01" to "2012-06-30"; if not, this
#' may result in an unequal weighting of data belonging with certain months
#' within a time series. A daily climatology will be created; that is, the
#' climatology will be comprised of one mean temperature for each day of the
#' year (365 or 366 days, depending on how leap years are dealt with), and the
#' mean will be based on a sample size that is a function of the length of time
#' determined by the start and end values given to \code{climatologyPeriod} and
#' the width of the sliding window specified in \code{windowHalfWidth}.
#' \item This function supports leap years. This is done by ignoring Feb 29s
#' for the initial calculation of the climatology and threshold. The values for
#' Feb 29 are then linearly interpolated from the values for Feb 28 and Mar 1.
#' \item Previous versions of \code{ts2clm()} tested to see if some rows
#' are duplicated, or if replicate temperature readings are present per day, but
#' this has now been disabled. Should the user be concerned about such repeated
#' measurements, we suggest that the necessary checks and fixes are implemented
#' prior to feeding the time series to \code{ts2clm()}.
#' }
#' The original Python algorithm was written by Eric Oliver, Institute for
#' Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Feb 2015, and is
#' documented by Hobday et al. (2016).
#'
#' @return The function will return a tibble (see the \code{tidyverse}) with the
#' input time series and the newly calculated climatology. The climatology contains
#' the seasonal climatology and the threshold for calculating MHWs. The software was
#' designed for creating climatologies of daily temperatures, and the units
#' specified below reflect that intended purpose. However, various other kinds
#' of climatologies may be created, and if that is the case, the appropriate
#' units need to be determined by the user.
#'   \item{doy}{Julian day (day-of-year). For non-leap years it runs 1...59 and
#'   61...366, while leap years run 1...366.}
#'   \item{t}{The date vector in the original time series supplied in \code{data}. If
#'   an alternate column was provided to the \code{x} argument, that name will rather
#'   be used for this column.}
#'   \item{temp}{The measurement vector as per the the original \code{data} supplied
#'   to the function. If a different column was given to the \code{y} argument that
#'   will be shown here.}
#'   \item{seas}{Climatological seasonal cycle [deg. C].}
#'   \item{thresh}{Seasonally varying threshold (e.g., 90th
#'   percentile) [deg. C]. This is used in \code{\link{detect_event}} for the
#'   detection/calculation of events (MHWs).}
#'   \item{var}{Seasonally varying variance (standard deviation) [deg. C]. This
#'   column is not returned if \code{var = FALSE} (default).}
#' Should \code{clmOnly} be enabled, only the 365 or 366 day climatology will be
#' returned.
