log_derivative_spane: log_derivative_spane

In khaors/pumpingtest: R Package for the analysis and evaluation of pumping tests

log_derivative_spane

Description

Function to calculate the derivative of the drawdown with respect to the derivative of log time using the approach proposed by Spane(1993) based on linear regression

Usage

log_derivative_spane(t, s, n = 2, return.pos = T, log = T)

Arguments

t	Numeric vector with the time
s	Numeric vector with the drawdown
n	Number of points where the derivative is calculated
return.pos	Logical flag to return only the positive values of the log-derivative (default = TRUE)
log	Logical flag to indicate that natural logarithm (a log to the base e) is used in the derivative calculation (default = TRUE). Logarithm to the base 10 is used if FALSE.

Value

A list with

• x: Numeric vector with the x coordinates where the log-derivative is evaluated

• y: Numeric vector with the value of the log-derivative
