SPEI R Documentation
SPEI.
Description
A set of functions for computing potential evapotranspiration and several
widely used drought indices including the Standardized
Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI).
Details
Package: SPEI
Type: Package
Version: 1.8
Date: 2023-01-20
License: GPL version 2 or newer
LazyLoad: yes
Functions spei and spi are the workhorse of the
SPEI library. Other functions such as kern,
parglo.maxlik is an auxiliary low-level function and
will not be used directly by the typical user. Functions for computing
potential evapotranspiration are provided, too, for helping computing
the SPEI. They are: thornthwaite,
hargreaves and penman.
