Cascades
An object of class regdata
.
It is a data frame with 19 observations on the following 7 variables:
name
Character vector: site identifier.
n
Numeric vector: record length.
mean
Numeric vector: sample mean.
t
Numeric vector: sample
t_3
Numeric vector: sample
t_4
Numeric vector: sample
t_5
Numeric vector: sample
The data are summary statistics of annual precipitation totals at 19 sites in the northwest U.S., the “North Cascades” region of Plantico et al. (1990). The precipitation data were obtained from the Historical Climatology Network (Karl et al., 1990).
