The goal of `droughtR` is to enable meteorological drought monitoring by generating non-stationary drought indices under various distributional assumptions (Normal, Gamma, Zero Inflated Gamma and Weibull). It computes the stationary (SPI) and the non-stationary (NSPI) Standardized Precipitation Indices using General Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape (GAMLSS). 



```{r, echo = FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  fig.path = "README_figs/README-"
)
```

## Installation

```{r, eval=FALSE}
# Install the development version on Github
devtools::install_github("mammask/droughtR")
```

## Usage

### Generate SPI and NSPI

The function `computenspi` creates stationary and non-stationary meteorological drought indices at different time scales. By default, droughtR uses the gamma distribution:

```{r, eval=TRUE, fig.height=3, fig.width=9, fig.align='center'}
# Load droughtR library
library(droughtR)

# Generate synthetic monthly rainfall data using the Gamma distribution
rain = dummyrainfall(startYear = 1950, endYear = 2010)

# Compute the non-stationary standardized precipitation index (NSPI) for scale 12 using GAMLSS
nonstatdrought = computenspi(x = rain, stationaryspi = FALSE, spiScale = 12, dist = 'gamma')

# Plot NSPI
plot(nonstatdrought)
```

```{r, fig.height=3, fig.width=9, fig.align='center'}
# Compute the stationary standardized precipitation index (NSPI) for scale 12 using GAMLSS and the weibull distribution
statdrought = computenspi(x = rain, stationaryspi = TRUE, spiScale = 12, dist = 'weibull')

# Plot SPI 
plot(statdrought)
```
