#' Function to return the ML22 hydrologic indicator statistic for a given data frame
#'
#' This function accepts a data frame that contains columns named "discharge" and "year_val" and a numeric drainage area and
#' calculates ML22. Specific mean annual minimum flow. ML22 is the mean (or median - use preference option)
#' of the annual minimum flows divided by the drainage area.
#'
#' @param x data frame containing a "discharge" column containing daily flow values
#' @param pref string containing a "mean" or "median" preference
#' @param drainarea numeric value of the drainage area for a given site
#' @return ml22 numeric value of the mean of annual minimum flows divided by the drainage area for the given data frame
