RWDataPlyr

Overview

RWDataPlyr is a tool to read and manipulate data generated from RiverWareTM simulations in rdf, csv, and nc formats and work with those data in a dplyr pipeline. It provides functions to gather, aggregate, and summarize data from multiple RiverWare simulations, i.e., scenarios.

Installation

RWDataPlyr can be installed from GitHub, and we suggest building the vignette.

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github('BoulderCodeHub/RWDataPlyr', build_vignettes = TRUE)

Usage

RWDataPlyr provides at least three workflows for reading and using RiverWare data:

1. Reading and manipulating a single scenario
   • Fast
   • Best for inspecting a single slot
   • If comparing scenarios, must manually repeat for each scenario
   • Relies on read_rdf() and read_rw_csv()
2. Summarizing multiple slots of data from a single scenario
   • Repeatable; allows user to process many slots at once
   • Best for producing "polished" analyses of a single scenario
   • Relies on rdf_aggregate() and user specified rwd_agg object
3. Aggregating and summarizing many scenarios
   • Repeatable; allows user to process many slots for many scenarios at once
   • Repeats summary of a single scenario on multiple scenarios and combines results together
   • Relies on rw_scen_aggregate() and user specified rwd_agg object
