dirtyreps: Quick and dirty stochastic generation of seasonal streamflow...

In swd-turner/reservoir: Tools for Analysis, Design, and Operation of Water Supply Storages

Description

Generates seasonal time series using either the kNN Bootstrap (non-parametric) or a numerically-fitted PARMA(1,1) (parametric) model. For the parametric model, the function automatically transforms the seasonal sub-series to normal and deseasonalizes prior to model fitting.

Usage

dirtyreps(Q, reps, years, k, d, adjust, parameters, method = "kNNboot")

Arguments

Q	time series object with seasonal resolution (e.g., frequency = 2, 3, 4, 6 or 12 for monthly data).
reps	integer. The number of replicates to be generated. The default is 100.
years	integer. The length of each replicate in years. The default is equal to the number of complete years given in Q.
k	integer. The k parameter of the kNN Bootstrap (i.e., number of nearest neighbors from which to sample). If left blank k = n ^ 0.5., where n is the number of years in the input data.
d	integer. The d parameter of the kNN Bootstrap (i.e., number of previous time periods to inform the model). If left blank d = 1.
adjust	logical. If TRUE (the default) the final output time series X will be coerced for 0 <= X <= 1.2*max(Q). Applies only if the PARMA method is used.
parameters	logical. If TRUE the output will be given as a list including the replicate samples and relevant model parameters (k and d for kNNboot and phi, theta and standard deviation of residuals for PARMA). The default is FALSE.
method	character object giving the method used to generate the data. Defaults to "kNNboot" - the k Nearest Neighbour Bootstrap. See references for detail on the two methods available.

Value

Returns a multi time series object containing synthetic streamflow replicates.
