compare_fr: Compare model estimates for France

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Description

Compare model estimates generated for mainland France by this study to model estimates generated by Snelder et al. (2013) by producing comparative histograms and statistics.

Usage

1
compare_fr(inp_frdir, in_rivpred, predcol, binarg, mincutoff)

Arguments

inp_frdir

(character) full path to directory containing formatted network and basins for France.

in_rivpred

data.table of model predictions for global river network. Here, output from netpredformat.

predcol

(character) name of the column for the predicted probability of flow intermittence generated by this study (Messager et al. 2021).

binarg

(numeric) limits of the mean annual flow bins across which to compare estimates (and for plotting histogram). See bin_dt.

mincutoff

(numeric) smallest river reaches to include in comparison, in terms of long-term mean annual flow (m3/s; e.g., 0.1)

Details

this function is used to produce Extended Data Figure 5 in Main Text from Messager et al. (2021).

Value

list with two elements: *"plot": histogram comparing estimated prevalence of flow intermittence and total river length across discharge size classes. *"data": summary comparison statistics.
