be_correct: be_correct

In jkennel/waterlevel: Well Water Level Analysis Tools

Description

Adjust values based on the barometric efficiency

Usage

be_correct(dat, dep = "wl", ind = "baro", be = 0, inverse = TRUE,
  known_mean = NULL)

Arguments

dat	data that has the independent and dependent variables (data.table)
dep	name of the dependent variable column (character). This is typically the name for the column holding your water level data.
ind	name of the independent variable column (character). This is typically the name for the column holding your barometric pressure data.
be	numeric value of the barometric efficiency
inverse	whether the barometric relationship is inverse (TRUE means that when the barometric pressure goes up the measured water level goes down (vented transducer, depth to water), FALSE means that when the barometric pressure goes up so does the measured pressure (non-vented transducer)) (logical).
known_mean	numeric explicitly enter the mean if known. Otherwise estimate from data.

Value

numeric vector of corrected values

Examples

library(data.table)
baro = rnorm(1000, sd = 0.01) + 9
wl <- baro * 0.4 + 18
dat <- data.table(baro, wl)
dat$wl + be_correct(dat, be=0.4, inverse = FALSE)
dat$wl + be_correct(dat, be=0.4, inverse = FALSE, known_mean = 9) 
# should return ~21.6 = 18 + 0.4 * 9
