RPhosFate v1.0.32023-03-06

  • Removed rgdal from suggested packages list and set minimum required version of the raster package to ≥ 3.6.3 (rgdal is retiring and raster ≥ 3.6.3 does not depend on it any longer). Thanks to Roger Bivand for raising this issue (#17).
  • Bumped minimum tested R version from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 using the corresponding MRAN repository snapshot.
  • Slightly improved documentation.
  • Minor internal code improvements.

RPhosFate v1.0.22022-09-21

  • Removed NRMSE from calibration quality metrics and added KGE as well as RCV.

RPhosFate v0.12.0

  • Added autoCalibrate2() method: allows for calibrating the overland and channel deposition rate in one go.
  • DEMrelatedInput() can handle multiple catchment outlets now and so does calibrationQuality().
  • DEMrelatedInput() now returns the breached DEM with reversed stream burning if applicable instead of the original one.
  • DEMrelatedInput() now calculates “correct” slopes even if the channels used for stream burning contain gaps.
  • RPhosFate now makes sure that the x- and y-coordinates of gauges used for calibration lie within the extent of the river catchment object.
  • Renamed "inChannelRetention" output of calibrationQuality() to "inChannelRetentionRatio".
  • RPhosFate requires R ≥ 3.5.0 now.
  • Improved documentation.

RPhosFate v0.11.0

  • Monte Carlo simulation mode can now make use of repeated random samples, i.e. raster data, of distributions of about all input data.
  • Added the following arguments to the subsequentRun() method, which allow for calling the respective methods:
    • erosionPrerequisites
    • erosion
    • emission
    • transportPrerequisites
    • transportCalcOrder
  • Added cv_MCl argument to RPhosFate() and catchment() methods: allows for specifying the names of the layers, which shall be written to disk with the associated Monte Carlo iteration in their filenames upon calling the appropriate methods.
  • Initialising a project in Monte Carlo simulation mode now also reads model results produced by a possible earlier run associated with the specified iteration. This implies that Monte Carlo input data additionally can reside in the project root subdirectories and not only in a separate directory.
  • Plot produced by calibrationQuality() is now prettier.
  • Added a vignette describing the basic modelling workflow.
  • RPhosFate now depends on the spatstat.geom instead of the spatstat package.
  • Fixed minimum required version of the whitebox package (≥ 2.0.0).
  • Added test for the standard use case of the DEMrelatedInput() function.
  • Slightly improved documentation.

RPhosFate v0.10.0

  • DEMrelatedInput() function now calculates the slopes from the breached DEM (stream burning is undone beforehand).
  • Switched to utilising GeoTIFF (*.tif) instead of Erdas Imagine (*.img) raster files.
  • Added cs_fex argument to DEMrelatedInput() function: allows for creating Erdas Imagine raster files for backward compatibility.
  • Added cs_dir argument to DEMrelatedInput() function: allows for utilising an existing D8 flow directions raster using ArcGIS codes.
  • Added demoProject() function providing training data.
  • Added examples to documentation.
  • Fixed backward incompatibility.
  • Added tests utilising the unit testing framework of the tinytest package.
  • Added means to measure code coverage with the help of covr.
