3
SimIAV(sd = 0.015, range = sd * 
    2, nyears = 30, start = c(1982, 
    1), freq = 12)

Arguments

sd

standard deviation of the annual mean values

range

range of the annual mean values

nyears

number of years

start

beginning of the time series (i.e. the time of the first observation). The default is c(1982, 1), i.e. January 1982 which is the usual start date to compute trends on long-term series of satellite observations of NDVI. See ts for further examples.

freq

The frequency of observations. The default is 12 for monthly observations. Use 24 for bi-monthly observations, 365 for daily observations or 1 for annual observations. See ts for further examples.

Value

time series of class ts
