Check the size change of a remeasured subject

Description

This function is to check the size change for a remeasured subject.

Usage

checkSize_remeas(
  subjectID,
  measTime,
  size,
  change = "increase",
  maxChangeRate = NULL,
  toleranceMethod = "both",
  toleranceAbs = 0,
  toleranceRel = 0
)

Arguments

`subjectID`	character, Specifies subject ID, such as a tree id.
`measTime`	numeric, Measurement number with bigger value indicates a later measurement.
`size`	numeric, Measurement of an attribute.
`change`	character, Change direction either from `increase` or `decrease`. Default is `increase`.
`maxChangeRate`	numeric, It determines the maximum change rate. If the change rate from previous to current measurement exceeds the maximum change rate, then the pass of current measurement will be flagged as `FALSE`. If missing, this term is set as `NULL`.
`toleranceMethod`	character, Method to allow acceptable measurement error in an opposite direction of change argument. It must be either `both` (break both absolute and relative tolerance), `either` (break either absolute or relative tolerance), `absolute` (break absolute tolerance only), or `relative` (break relative tolerance only). Default is `both`.
`toleranceAbs`	numeric, Absolute tolerance value (exclusive) to allow measurement error. It must be a a non-negative value. If the change is `increase`, the change from current measurement to last measurement will be compared to the negative tolerance value, and vice versa. Default is `0` for zero tolerance.
`toleranceRel`	numeric, Relative tolerance value (exclusive) to allow measurement error. It must be a a non-negative value. If the change is `increase`, the change from current measurement to last measurement will be compared to the negative tolerance value, and vice versa. Default is `0` for zero tolerance.
