Pair Results for Numeric Criteria Calculation (UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT)

This function pairs TADA results with results from specified characteristics from the same MonitoringLocation within a user-specified time window to facilitate the calculation of numeric criteria. The columns created by TADA_AutoClean are required to run this function. If they are not present in the data frame, the function will stop and print an error message.

Usage

TADA_PairForCriteriaCalc(.data, ref = "null", hours_range = 4)

Arguments

.data: TADA dataframe
ref: Write description of what columns need to be in this ref or null option
hours_range: Numeric argument. The time difference allowed between the paired characteristic and the result.

Value

A TADA data frame with six additional columns added for each pairing group specified in the pairing ref.

Details

Users can provide a pairing reference file (can be created using TADA_CreatePairRef) to specify which combinations of TADA.CharacteristicName, TADA.ResultMeasure.MeasureUnit, TADA.MethodSpeciationName, and TADA.ResultSampleFractionText should be used for hardness, pH, temperature, salinity, chloride or other user-defined groups. If no ref is specified, all possible combinations for hardness, pH, temperature, salinity and chloride will be used.
