This function is used in cases where there are numerical problems with
the estimation of the WRTDS model. This mostly happens during bootstrap
estimation or when the data sets are very large. In order to reduce the
collinearity in the explanatory variables, some random noise is added to
the time and log discharge variables in the Sample data frame.
Arguments
- Sam
data frame with at least columns DecYear and LogQ
- V
a multiplier for the sd of the LogQ jitter. for example V = 0.02,
means that the sd of the LnQ jitter is 0.02*sdLQ
Value
SamR a data frame structured like the Sam data frame but with
the time and discharge variables modified by adding random jitter
Examples
eList <- Choptank_eList
Sample_jitter <- jitterSam(eList$Sample)
