paretogadget {INQC}

Finds outliers

Description

This function finds outliers for variables which can be described/evaluated by means of the Pareto distribution (e.g. atmospheric precipitation or wind speed)

Usage

paretogadget(x, ret)

Arguments

x

vector of values (a series) to be analyzed

ret

pseudo-return period for the pot-pareto distribution approach

Value

list of positions which do not pass this QC test (which can be considered as outliers)

Examples

#Extract the ECA&D precipitation data file from the example data folder
path2inptfl<-system.file("extdata", "RR_SOUID132730.txt", package = "INQC")
#Read the data file
x<-readecad(input=path2inptfl,missing= -9999)[,4]
#Find all suspicious positions in the time series corresponding to the requested return period
paretogadget(x,25)
#Suspicious values
x[paretogadget(x,25)]
