ARCensReg (version 3.0.1)

phosphorus: Phosphorus concentration data

Description

The phosphorus concentration (P) data of West Fork Cedar River at Finchford, Iowa, USA, collected under the ambient water quality program conducted by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (Iowa DNR), were observed monthly from 10/1998 to 10/2013 (n=181). The phosphorus concentration measurement was subject to a detection limit (lcl); thereby, the P data are left-censored. The dataset was first available in the R package carx.

The water discharge dataset was obtained from the website of the U.S. Geological Survey (site number 05458900), and it is measured in cubic feet per second.

Usage

data(phosphorus)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

lP

Logarithm of the phosphorus concentration.

cc

Left censoring indicator (1 if the observation is left-censored and 0 otherwise).

lQ

Logarithm of the water discharge.

lcl

Censoring limit.

time

Year-Month.
