Station data

Source: vignettes/stations.Rmd
stations.Rmd

To calculate the phenology based on station data, phenology() should be called with a data frame as input. It should have a date column whose values need to be interpretable by as.Date(), and a station column that specifies the name of the respective station. Additional columns provide the actual parameters used by the model. This vignette uses the station data provided by barrks as sample data.


station_data <- barrks_data('stations')

head(station_data, 10)

To illustrate the beetle development at a specific station, plot_development_diagram() is used. It is possible to add several phenology objects to the plot that will be displayed as lines. The area between the lines of the particular generations will be filled if the respective generation appears in all phenology objects.
