v0.4-2 "SPECS workshop - II"

What's new?

This new minor version release includes some improvements proposed by the participants during the SPECS Workshop training sessions:

• Enhancement in plotMeanField to account for missing values
• Bug fix in quantile algorithm selection for qqmap adjustment
• Fixed errors in documentation
• Acknowledgements: Wietse Franssen (WUR), Jonas Bhend (MeteoSwiss) and Laurent Dubus (EDF)

v0.4-1 "SPECS workshop"

What's new

• New and improved function examples

v0.4-0

What's new?

• Implementation of analog method for perfect prog statistical
  downscaling: function analogs
• Forecast validation visualization tool: function tercileValidation
• Quick summary of available stations in station datasets using stationInfo
• New example datasets (reanalysis and seasonal forecast)

v0.3-0

What's new

• Integration of multi-member datasets (e.g. forecasts) in all the analysis steps
• Implementation of several calibration / bias correction methods
