movave.effect {MetGen}

Moving average

Description

Averaging previous time steps using different bandwidth to perform temporal auto-correlation

Usage

movave.effect(var.mat, var.name, bw, nstat = NULL, na.proc = FALSE)

Arguments

var.mat

Data frame containing chron variable and different climatic variables for each time step

var.name

character object to define the name of the climatic variable that we will perform the moving average

bw

Numeric vector that forms the bandwidth to be used for the moving average

nstat

Numeric vector specifying the number of gauged stations used to obtain observation data

na.proc

A logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds

Value

An additional column will be added in the data frame introduced containing the average of the variable of interest over previous time step specified by the bandwith for each site

Examples

temp_movave <- movave.effect(myclimatic_data, "temp", 48, nstat = 3, 
na.proc = TRUE)
