data.combine.timeseries {phenmod}

Create combined timeseries

Description

Creates combined timeseries out of the dataset by using clusters of stations.

Usage

data.combine.timeseries(dataset, clusters, 
			silent=FALSE, out2File=FALSE, 
			minimalClusterSize=5)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset created by data.extract containing the information that should be used to generate the combined timeseries.

clusters

A list of station clusters generated by data.combine.clusters.

silent

A boolean value determining wether the function should generate output messages or not.

out2File

A boolean value determining wether the output will be stored in log-files.

minimalClusterSize

An integer value determining the minimal number of stations in a cluster to be included in combining process.

Details

The combined timeseries are created by using the function pheno.lad.fit of package ‘pheno’. This process eliminates outliers and smooths the data.

Value

A dataset containing the combined timeseries as a data.frame with same columns like a data.frame created by data.extract.

Examples

  ## load extracted observations as created by 'data.extract'
  data(extractedObs)

  ## create station net
  stations.net <- data.combine.stationNet(extractedObs, 
				range=5000, alt.range=50, silent=FALSE, 
				out2File=FALSE)

  ## search clusters in station net
  clusters <- data.combine.clusters(extractedObs, 
			stations.net, shuffle=TRUE, tries=3, 
			silent=FALSE, out2File=FALSE)

  ## combine timeseries
  data.combined <- data.combine.timeseries(extractedObs, 
				clusters, out2File=FALSE)
