This package can be used to estimate the confidence of state classifications (e.g., with the classification `bad', `moderate', `good') produced using environmental indicators and associated targets. The implementation closely follows Baggelaar et al. (2010) where the confidence intervals for the estimated multiyear averages are derived by assuming a Student's t distribution for the errors. For more information about the package see the package-vignette (type: vignette("confidence") at the R-prompt to view the vignette.).
