Prediction of minimum temperature for frost forecasting in agriculture

Description

This package contains a compilation of empirical methods used by farmers and agronomic engineers to predict the minimum temperature to detect a frost event.

These functions use variables such as environmental temperature, relative humidity, and dew point.

Installation

If you don't have package devtools installed, run the following commands.

install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)

To install the package from the GitHub repo, run
