This R application is an implementation of state tagging approach for improved quality assurance of environmental data. The application returns state-dependent prediction intervals on input data. The states are determined based on clustering of auxiliary inputs (such as meteorological data) made on the same day. The method provides contextual information to assess the quality of observational data and is applicable to any point-based, daily time series observational data. To use this application, the user will need to input two separate csv files: one for state variables and the other for observations.

Provenance & quality
This application comprises the source code of a R shiny app (app.R) that implements the method described in https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2020.00046. It can be run on any machine with R and the required packages installed. The clustering is based on the k means function in the {stats} package in R. It has been tested up to R version 3.5.3. More testing info can be found in session_info.txt.
