SolarClusGnr: Solar irradiance time-series clustering and down-scaling

SolarClusGnr

It is an R-package allows a reproducible research for non-parametric clustering and downscaling of daily solar irradiation time-series. The current version includes:

  • SIR_Data Constructor function of objects of SIRData class. Once the user creates a SIRData object from his data, he no longer need other inputs, ALL the rest work will done automatically.

  • DPGMMclus S3 Method for non-parametric Bayesian Dirichlet-Gaussian mixture model clustering of daily clearness index distributions. It can be also used to perform any data clustering of class matrix other than irradiance data. It generate an object of class clusData containing the clustering outputs.

  • parClusGen Constructor function of objects of genData class, needed for the generation of hight resolution solar irradiance data.

  • GenData Function to generate high resolution solar irradiance time-series. It requires object of genData class as input.

  • clPlot Function to generate plots of the resulting classes.
