Scripts and data to run R-QWTREND models and produce results

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This child page contains a zipped folder which contains all items necessary to run trend models and produce results published in U.S. Geological Scientific Investigations Report 2021–XXXX [Tatge, W.S., Nustad, R.A., and Galloway, J.M., 2021, Evaluation of Salinity and Nutrient Conditions in the Heart River Basin, North Dakota, 1970-2020: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021-XXXX, XX p.]. To run the R-QWTREND program in R 6 files are required and each is included in this child page: prepQWdataV4.txt, runQWmodelV4XXUEP.txt, plotQWtrendV4XXUEP.txt, qwtrend2018v4.exe, salflibc.dll, and StartQWTrendV4.R (Vecchia and Nustad, 2020). The folder contains: six items required to run the R–QWTREND trend analysis tool; a readme.txt file; a flowtrendData.RData file; an allsiteinfo.table.csv file, a folder called "scripts", and a folder called "waterqualitydata". The "scripts" folder contains the scripts that can be used to reproduce the results found in the USGS Scientific Investigations Report referenced above. The "waterqualitydata" folder contains .csv files with the naming convention of site_ions or site_nuts for major ions and nutrients constituents and contains machine readable files with the water-quality data used for the trend analysis at each site. 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.
