trend: Trend of time series

In rcdo: Wrapper of 'CDO' Operators

Trend of time series

Description

The values of the input file infile are assumed to be distributed as N(a+b*t,S^2) with unknown a, b and S^2. This operator estimates the parameter a and b. For every field element x only those timesteps t belong to the sample S(x), which have i(t,x) NE miss. Thus the estimation for a is stored in outfile1 and that for b is stored in outfile2. To subtract the trend from the data see operator subtrend. It is assumed that all timesteps are equidistant, if this is not the case set the parameter equal=false.

Usage

cdo_trend(ifile, equal = NULL, ofile1 = NULL, ofile2 = NULL)

Arguments

ifile	String with the path to the input file.
equal	BOOL - Set to false for unequal distributed timesteps (default: true)
ofile1, ofile2	Strings with the path to the output files.

Value

Operators that output one or more files return a character vector to the output files.

Operators that output an indefinite number of files return a string with the basename of the files.

Operatos that don't return filenames return a character vector with the string output.
