compare_us: Compare model estimates for the U.S.
In NaiaraLopezRojo/globalIRmap: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Compare model estimates generated for the contiguous U.S. by this study to the prevalence of intermittence as depicted in the National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) medium-resolution (100k) by producing comparative histograms and statistics.

1	compare_us(inp_usresdir, inp_usdatdir, in_rivpred, predcol, binarg, mincutoff)

`inp_usresdir`	(character) full path to directory containing formatted network and basins data for the U.S. @param inp_usdatdir (character) full path to directory containing raw data for the U.S.
`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)

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

list with two elements: *"plot": histogram comparing estimated prevalence of flow intermittence and total river length across discharge size classes. *"data_all": summary comparison statistics assuming that line segments in the NHDPlus classified as "Artificial path" are all perennial. *"data_noartificial": summary comparison statistics excluding line segments classified as "Artificial path" are all perennial.
