What is the FlomKart package?

This package is a set a functions developed with the FlomKart flood frequency analysis project at NVE. It allows building 2 NetCDF files:

• flood_database.nc which contains the raw flood dataset, random indexes to reconstitute sub-samples. The results are parameter sets for each probability distribution (gev, gl, pearson, gamma, gumbel) and parameter estimation method (mom, Lmom, MLE, bayes)
• gof.nc which contains the goodness of fit results based on the estimated parameters stored in flood_database.nc.

The content of those 2 NetCDF files can then be explored with the NASA’s NetCDF viewer Panoply or by our dedicated FlomKart shiny app (doc and code)

How was it coded?

In Package Ref, you’ll find the documentation of all the packaged functions. This package uses the parameter estimation functions of the fitdistrib package (doc and code)
