index.periodic {HelpersMG}

Estimate indices in periodic timeseries based on anchored minimum and maximum

Description

Estimate indices in periodic timeseries based on anchored minimum and maximum.
The data.frame minmax can be generated manually. It should have three columns (time, index, SD), with all the successive minimum and maximum indices.
It can be used with sun.info() to get the time of minimum and maximum air temperature or with getTide() to reconstruct the sea level.

Usage

index.periodic(minmax, time = NULL, replicates = 100, progressbar = FALSE)

Arguments

minmax

A data.frame returned by minmax.periodic

time

The time at which produced the estimate

replicates

Number of replicates to estimate SD

progressbar

Does a progression bar must be shown

Details

index.periodic estimate indices in periodic timeseries based on anchored minimum and maximum

Value

A data.frame with a column time and a column index
