Scripts to run R-QWTREND models and produce results.

This child page contains a zipped folder which contains all files necessary to run trend models and produce results published in U.S. Geological Scientific Investigations Report 2020–5079 [Nustad, R.A., and Vecchia, A.V., 2020, Water-quality trends for selected sites and constituents in the international Red River of the North Basin, Minnesota and North Dakota, United States, and Manitoba, Canada, 1970–2017: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020–5079, 75 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205079]. The folder contains: six files required to run the R–QWTREND trend analysis tool; a readme.txt file; an alldata.RData file; a siteinfo_appendix.txt: and a folder called "scripts". R–QWTREND is a software package for analyzing trends in stream-water quality. The package is a collection of functions written in R (R Development Core Team, 2019), an open source language and a general environment for statistical computing and graphics. The following system requirements are necessary for using R–QWTREND: • Windows 10 operating system • R (version 3.4 or later; 64 bit recommended) • RStudio (version 1.1.456 or later). An accompanying report (Vecchia and Nustad, 2020) serves as the formal documentation for R–QWTREND.
