In dslaw/clearskies: Clear Sky Models

Description

The clearskies package contains functions for fitting a number of clear sky models and a function for running the clear sky detection algorithm.

Clear Sky Models

Clear sky models are fit through the clear_sky function, which provides a convenient interface to all available clear sky models. Models can be fit by passing either a dataframe, named list or named vector of date information to x and a named object of location information to y, or by explicitly passing the necessary date and location parameters to their respective arguments. Parameters specific to the model type may be passed through a named object to argument "parameters".

Clear Sky Detection

The clear sky detection algorithm can be run on measured irradiance and a corresponding clear sky model using the clear_points function. clear_points requires that the thresholds argument is ordered correctly, see ?clear_points for details. Thresholds for 10-minute rolling windows can be found in data/.

More information on the clear sky detection algorithm can found in: Global Horizontal Irradiance Clear Sky Models: Implementation and Analysis, Reno et al, 2012, pp. 28.
