Summary statistics
About Summary statistics
Summarising data by calculating summary statistics is a common requirement in not just hydrological fields but all statistical work. This model provides the ability to generate statistics (mean, median, max, min) for each season (as defined by the user) in a data file. The modal also provides the ability to generate summary statistics for the whole data file (mean, median, max, min, 1.5 year ARI, 2 year ARI, 5 year ARI, 10 year ARI).
Model purpose
The purpose of the model is to calculate summary statistics for timeseries data
Development context
This is a simple, general purpose model.
Spatial application
This is a general purpose model and is applicable to any location.
Model description
Ecohydrological rules
The model separates the provided data into years as defined by the specified season. The yearly statistics are then calculated for each year. The whole period statistics are then calculated on the whole period.
Assessment method
This model has no assessment due to the format of its results.
Inputs
Data
- Daily flow time series data
Parameter Sections
- Data – define the season to split data into. Provide a start and end date (day/month).
- Stats – define the statistics to calculate for each year, and across the whole period.
Outputs
- Yearly timeseries of calculated statistics
- Summary statistics
User interface
Underlying code
This plugin is written in Python and its underlying code is publicly available from the Eco Risk Projector computation repository.
