ch_polar_plot_prep {CSHShydRology} | R Documentation |
Creates a data structure to be passed to ch_polar_plot
Description
Could be used to move data from a different type of analysis different to
the ch_binned_MannWhitney
function which uses flows. The two series need to be of the
same length and their length is related to the step size. For examples,
for five day periods there will be 73 periods.
Usage
ch_polar_plot_prep(
station,
plot_title,
step,
x0,
x1,
stat,
prob,
test_s,
variable = "discharge",
bin_method = "unstated",
test_method = "unstated",
lline1 = "Period 1",
lline2 = "Period 2",
pvalue = 0.05
)
Arguments
station |
Typically a station number |
plot_title |
Polar plot title - usually a station name |
step |
The number of days binned |
x0 |
Time series of length n for a single seasonal cycle |
x1 |
Time series of length n for a single seasonal cycle |
stat |
Time series of length n for statistical test value for each bin |
prob |
Time series of length n of probability of test value |
test_s |
Vector with values of -1, 0, 1 for significance, -1 negative, 1 positive, 0 not significant |
variable |
Name of variable plotted. Default is discharge |
bin_method |
Default is unstated |
test_method |
Default is unstated |
lline1 |
Names of first period, default is Period 1 |
lline2 |
Names of second period, default is Period 2 |
pvalue |
Value of p used. Default is 0.05 |
Value
Returns a list containing:
StationID |
ID of station |
Station_lname |
Name of station |
variable |
Name of variable |
bin_width |
Smoothing time step in days |
range1 |
First range of years |
range2 |
Second range of years |
p_used |
p_value |
fail |
TRUE if test failed due to missing values |
bin_method |
Method used for binning |
test_method |
Mann-Whitney U |
series |
A data frame containing six columns |
The series
data frame contains
period |
period numbers i.e. 1:365/step |
period1 |
median values for each bin in period 1 |
period2 |
median values for each bin in period 2 |
mwu |
Mann Whitney U-statistic for each bin between the two periods |
prob |
probability of U for each period |
code |
significance codes for each bin |
