dist2norm {clim.pact}R Documentation

Transform a series to a normally distributed series.

Description

Used for DS on non-Gaussian data. Tailored for the use with daily precipitation. dist2norm transforms (maps) data to normal distribution and norm2dist carries out the reverse operation. The mapping/transformation is done through one-to-one matching of the empirical distribution functions (e.d.f.) of the data and a Gaussian distribution.

Usage

  dist2norm(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)
  norm2dist(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)

Arguments

x vector.
plot T -> plot for illustrating the mapping.
exclude Values (e.g. 0) to exclude for the transform.
sd The standard deviation of the transformed quantities.
mean The mean value of the transformed quantities.
force.zero Force the e.d.f. to start from 0.

Value

a list object of class 'dist2norm' containing a vector and the empirical transform functions.
