Compare the Statistical Differences between Classifications Results

Description

The 'rict_compare' function allows the user to assess whether there is a real difference in EQR values and/or status class between a pair of results and/or sites and/or time periods.

Usage

rict_compare(results_a = NULL, results_b = NULL)

Arguments

results_a

Dataframe output from 'rict(store_eqrs = T)'. The 'results_b' and 'results_b' input dataframes must have the same number of rows

results_b

Dataframe output from 'rict(store_eqrs = T)'. The 'results_b' and 'results_b' input dataframes must have the same number of rows

Details

The 'rict_compare' makes use of two lower level functions: compare_test and compare_probability. Before passing data to these functions it formats the data and removes results for example the 'MINTA' values as these are not applicable for 'compare_test()'.

Value

Dataframe of compare results with 44 variables see 'technical specifications' for details. Returns output of results the same length as the input files.

EQR metric compared

EQR metric from Result A which is being compared ("Vs") the metric in Result B for example SUM_ASPT Vs SUM_ASPT - this row is comparing Summer ASPT results A to Summer ASPT in results B. Note, if only one season is calculated, the "AVG_"... EQR metric (average) will have the same value as the season EQR value

Result A

Concatennated results name of Year and Site

Result B

Concatennated results name of Year and Site
