##' Tests for trends using Theil-Sen estimates
##'
##' Theil-Sen slope estimates and tests for trend.
##'
##' The \code{TheilSen} function provides a collection of functions to
##' analyse trends in air pollution data. The \code{TheilSen} function
##' is flexible in the sense that it can be applied to data in many
##' ways e.g. by day of the week, hour of day and wind direction. This
##' flexibility makes it much easier to draw inferences from data
##' e.g. why is there a strong downward trend in concentration from
##' one wind sector and not another, or why trends on one day of the
##' week or a certain time of day are unexpected.
##'
##' For data that are strongly seasonal, perhaps from a background
##' site, or a pollutant such as ozone, it will be important to
##' deseasonalise the data (using the option \code{deseason =
##' TRUE}.Similarly, for data that increase, then decrease, or show
##' sharp changes it may be better to use \code{\link{smoothTrend}}.
##'
##' A minimum of 6 points are required for trend estimates to be made.
##'
##' Note! that since version 0.5-11 openair uses Theil-Sen to derive
##' the p values also for the slope. This is to ensure there is
##' consistency between the calculated p value and other trend
##' parameters i.e. slope estimates and uncertainties. The p value and
##' all uncertainties are calculated through bootstrap simulations.
##'
##' Note that the symbols shown next to each trend estimate relate to
##' how statistically significant the trend estimate is: p $<$ 0.001 =
##' ***, p $<$ 0.01 = **, p $<$ 0.05 = * and p $<$ 0.1 = $+$.
##'
##' Some of the code used in \code{TheilSen} is based on that from
##' Rand Wilcox \url{http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~rwilcox/}. This mostly
##' relates to the Theil-Sen slope estimates and uncertainties.
##' Further modifications have been made to take account of correlated
##' data based on Kunsch (1989). The basic function has been adapted
##' to take account of auto-correlated data using block bootstrap
##' simulations if \code{autocor = TRUE} (Kunsch, 1989). We follow the
##' suggestion of Kunsch (1989) of setting the block length to n(1/3)
##' where n is the length of the time series.
##'
##' The slope estimate and confidence intervals in the slope are plotted and
##' numerical information presented.
##'
##' @aliases TheilSen
##' @param mydata A data frame containing the field \code{date} and at
##' least one other parameter for which a trend test is required;
##' typically (but not necessarily) a pollutant.
##' @param pollutant The parameter for which a trend test is required.
##' Mandatory.
##' @param deseason Should the data be de-deasonalized first? If
##' \code{TRUE} the function \code{stl} is used (seasonal trend
##' decomposition using loess). Note that if \code{TRUE} missing
##' data are first linearly interpolated because \code{stl} cannot
##' handle missing data.
##' @param type \code{type} determines how the data are split i.e.
##' conditioned, and then plotted. The default is will produce a
##' single plot using the entire data. Type can be one of the
##' built-in types as detailed in \code{cutData} e.g.
##' \dQuote{season}, \dQuote{year}, \dQuote{weekday} and so on. For
##' example, \code{type = "season"} will produce four plots --- one
##' for each season.
##'
##' It is also possible to choose \code{type} as another variable in
##' the data frame. If that variable is numeric, then the data will
##' be split into four quantiles (if possible) and labelled
##' accordingly. If type is an existing character or factor
##' variable, then those categories/levels will be used directly.
##' This offers great flexibility for understanding the variation of
##' different variables and how they depend on one another.
##'
##' Type can be up length two e.g. \code{type = c("season",
##' "weekday")} will produce a 2x2 plot split by season and day of
##' the week. Note, when two types are provided the first forms the
##' columns and the second the rows.
##' @param avg.time Can be \dQuote{month} (the default),
##' \dQuote{season} or \dQuote{year}. Determines the time over which
##' data should be averaged. Note that for \dQuote{year}, six or
##' more years are required. For \dQuote{season} the data are split
##' up into spring: March, April, May etc. Note that December is
##' considered as belonging to winter of the following year.
##' @param statistic Statistic used for calculating monthly values.
##' Default is \dQuote{mean}, but can also be \dQuote{percentile}.
##' See \code{timeAverage} for more details.
##' @param percentile Single percentile value to use if
##' \code{statistic = "percentile"} is chosen.
##' @param data.thresh The data capture threshold to use (%) when
##' aggregating the data using \code{avg.time}. A value of zero
##' means that all available data will be used in a particular
##' period regardless if of the number of values available.
##' Conversely, a value of 100 will mean that all data will need to
##' be present for the average to be calculated, else it is recorded
##' as \code{NA}.
##' @param alpha For the confidence interval calculations of the
##' slope. The default is 0.05. To show 99\% confidence intervals
##' for the value of the trend, choose alpha = 0.01 etc.
##' @param size Size of plotting symbol to use.
##' @param dec.place The number of decimal places to display the trend
##' estimate at. The default is 2.
##' @param xlab x-axis label, by default \code{"year"}.
##' @param lab.frac Fraction along the y-axis that the trend
##' information should be printed at, default 0.99.
##' @param lab.cex Size of text for trend information.
##' @param x.relation This determines how the x-axis scale is plotted.
##' \dQuote{same} ensures all panels use the same scale and
##' \dQuote{free} will use panel-specfic scales. The latter is a
##' useful setting when plotting data with very different values.
##' @param y.relation This determines how the y-axis scale is plotted.
##' \dQuote{same} ensures all panels use the same scale and
##' \dQuote{free} will use panel-specfic scales. The latter is a
##' useful setting when plotting data with very different values.
##' @param data.col Colour name for the data
##' @param trend list containing information on the line width, line
##' type and line colour for the main trend line and confidence
##' intervals respectively.
##' @param text.col Colour name for the slope/uncertainty numeric
##' estimates
##' @param slope.text The text shown for the slope (default is
##' \sQuote{units/year}).
##' @param cols Predefined colour scheme, currently only enabled for
##' \code{"greyscale"}.
##' \dQuote{white} or \dQuote{transparent} to remove shading.
##' @param auto.text Either \code{TRUE} (default) or \code{FALSE}. If
##' \code{TRUE} titles and axis labels will automatically try and
##' format pollutant names and units properly e.g. by subscripting
##' the \sQuote{2} in NO2.
##' @param autocor Should autocorrelation be considered in the trend
##' uncertainty estimates? The default is \code{FALSE}. Generally,
##' accounting for autocorrelation increases the uncertainty of the
##' trend estimate --- sometimes by a large amount.
##' @param slope.percent Should the slope and the slope uncertainties
##' be expressed as a percentage change per year? The default is
##' \code{FALSE} and the slope is expressed as an average units/year
##' change e.g. ppb. Percentage changes can often be confusing and
##' should be clearly defined. Here the percentage change is
##' expressed as 100 * (C.end/C.start - 1) / (end.year -
##' start.year). Where C.start is the concentration at the start
##' date and C.end is the concentration at the end date.
##'
##' For \code{avg.time = "year"} (end.year - start.year) will be the
##' total number of years - 1. For example, given a concentration in
##' year 1 of 100 units and a percentage reduction of 5%/yr, after 5
##' years there will be 75 units but the actual time span will be 6
##' years i.e. year 1 is used as a reference year. Things are
##' slightly different for monthly values e.g. \code{avg.time =
##' "month"}, which will use the total number of months as a basis
##' of the time span and is therefore able to deal with partial
##' years. There can be slight differences in the %/yr trend
##' estimate therefore, depending on whether monthly or annual
##' values are considered.
##' @param date.breaks Number of major x-axis intervals to use. The
##' function will try and choose a sensible number of dates/times as
##' well as formatting the date/time appropriately to the range
##' being considered. This does not always work as desired
##' automatically. The user can therefore increase or decrease the
##' number of intervals by adjusting the value of \code{date.breaks}
##' up or down.
##' @param ... Other graphical parameters passed onto \code{cutData}
##' For example, \code{TheilSen} passes
##' the option \code{hemisphere = "southern"} on to \code{cutData}
##' to provide southern (rather than default northern) hemisphere
##' handling of \code{type = "season"}. Similarly, common axis and
##' title labelling options (such as \code{xlab}, \code{ylab},
##' \code{main}) are passed to \code{xyplot} via \code{quickText} to
##' handle routine formatting.
##' @export TheilSen
##' @return As well as generating the plot itself, \code{TheilSen}
##' also returns an object of class ``openair''. The object includes
##' three main components: \code{call}, the command used to generate
##' the plot; \code{data}, the data frame of summarised information
##' used to make the plot; and \code{plot}, the plot itself. If
##' retained, e.g. using \code{output <- TheilSen(mydata, "nox")},
##' this output can be used to recover the data, reproduce or rework
##' the original plot or undertake further analysis.
##'
##' An openair output can be manipulated using a number of generic
##' operations, including \code{print}, \code{plot} and
##' \code{summary}.
##'
##' The \code{data} component of the \code{TheilSen} output includes
##' two subsets: \code{main.data}, the monthly data \code{res2} the
##' trend statistics. For \code{output <- TheilSen(mydata, "nox")},
##' these can be extracted as \code{object$data$main.data} and
##' \code{object$data$res2}, respectively.
##'
##' Note: In the case of the intercept, it is assumed the y-axis crosses the
##' x-axis on 1/1/1970.

##' @seealso See \code{\link{smoothTrend}} for a flexible approach to
##' estimating trends using nonparametric regression. The \code{smoothTrend}
##' function is suitable for cases where trends are not monotonic and is
##' probably better for exploring the shape of trends.
