A dataset consisting of daily observations of suspended sediment concentration
(SSC) (mg/L) and stream discharge (Q) (cu. m/s) for the years 1970-1979 at the
Fraser River at Hope station in British Columbia, Canada (Water Survey of
Canada station 08MF005). Samples are split into a seven year training period
(1970-1976) and a three year testing period (1977-1979).
In terms of structure, FraserSediment
is a list with four elements:
x.1970.1976
, y.1970.1976
, x.1977.1979
,
and y.1977.1979
. x.1970.1976
and x.1977.1979
are
matrices with predictor variables: logQ
, log-transformed Q; and
dQ5
, dQ30
, and dQ90
, 5-, 30-, and 90-day moving averages
of daily changes in Q. y.1970.1976
and y.1977.1979
are matrices
with the predictand variable SSC
.
