Examples

#Extract the ECA&D data file (maximum air temperature) from the example data folder

#Read the data file
y<-readecad(input=path2inptfl,missing= -9999)[,3:4]
#Introduce the errors in first 20 data values
y[1:20,2]<-30
#Find all suspicious positions in the time series
toomany(y,blockmany=15,scope=1,exclude=NULL)

#Extract the ECA&D data file (atmospheric precipitation) from the example data folder
path2inptfl<-system.file("extdata", "RR_SOUID132730.txt", package = "INQC")
#Read the data file
y<-readecad(input=path2inptfl,missing= -9999)[,3:4]
#Introduce the errors in first 20 data values
