Overview

About

Maintained by Laura DeCiccoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Statistics and graphics for streamflow history, water quality trends, and the statistical modeling algorithm: Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS).

Changes in 3.0.12

Changed readNWISDaily to use new USGS Water Data API services.
Changed readNWISInfo to use new USGS Water Data API services.
Added option ("adjust") to use the flow adjustment within the readNWISDaily and

readUserDaily functions. By default, "adjust" is set to TRUE and will

add a constant to zero flow values to allow log transformation. In special cases,

users may want to keep the zero-flow values, keeping in mind that in those cases

many of the modeling functions will not work.

Cleaned up plotConcTimeSmooth title.
Added a "fill" option to readDaily functions, see examples in

populateDaily for more information.

Added "fill_missing_daily" function as a standalone.
Added code to make sure the eList returned from runSeries contained

the same columns that would be returned from modelEstimation.

Revised WRTDSKalman algorithm to speed processing of records with long sample gaps. The behavior and outputs of the WRTDSKalman function have not changed.
Added the use of genmissing() to WRTDSKalman function on the first and last

gaps of the dataset instead of the existing approach where autocorrelation

doesn't extend into those gaps.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("EGRET", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("DOI-USGS/EGRET")

Development version from DOI-USGS/EGRET. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-egret

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-EGRET

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-EGRET

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
