mmlMRVAgen1, Source Code for Construction of Multiple Machine-Learning Models of Water Levels in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer
The mmlMRVAgen1 repository contains R, LaTeX, Mermaid, and Perl language source code that can be used for construction multiple methods of machine learning (MML) of water levels in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA) within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP), south-central United States. The source code is written in R (primary and extensive), LaTeX (for structured...
syntheticdv2lff, Scripts for low-flow frequency (LFF) estimation (and bias correction) from daily mean streamflow estimated at level-12 hydrologic unit code (HUC12) pour points in the southeastern United States
The syntheticdv2lff repository contains R language source code that document the workflow to compute low-streamflow (low-flow) frequency (LFF) statistics from previously estimated streamflow at level-12 hydrologic unit code (HUC12) pour points (watershed outlet locations) in the south-central and southeastern United States for 1950 through 2010 and associated bias correction. LFF...
infoGWauxs, Auxiliary methods for infoGW and similar groundwater level data objects and other helpful utilities
The infoGWauxs package in the R language provides auxiliary methods for data merging, duplicate-record removal, and monthly rollup of groundwater levels in the so-called infoGW or GWmaster data objects. These data structures are particularly well suited for statistical analyses of groundwater levels. This package is part of a greater body of data processors oriented around the infoGW...
Aquaculture and Irrigation Water Use Model 2.0 Software
The Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the US and extracts more than 11 km3/year for irrigation activities. The heavy drivers of groundwater use are aquaculture and crops, which include rice, cotton, corn, and soybeans (Wilson, 2021). Consequently, groundwater-level declines in the MAP region (Clark and others, 2011) pose a substantial...
RESTORE/TCEQswqmisESTUSAL, Source code for manipulation of data stemming from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program with emphasis on salinity change statistics for Texas coastal segments
The RESTORE/TCEQswqmisESTUSAL repository contains R language source code that can be used for digesting data retrieved from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program through their Surface Water Quality Data Viewer. The workflow described concerns data manipulations, base data filtering, and computations towards documenting long-term salinity...
RESTORE/makESTUSAL, Source code for construction of various statistical models and prediction of daily salinity in coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States
The RESTORE/makESTUSAL software repository contains R language source code that can be used for the construction of various statistical models and output time series of predicted daily salinity coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States. The source code is expansive, and the repository is organizationally deep following logical organization units. One major subsystem of the...
Simulation and comparison of five estimators of variability in units of standard deviation for small samples drawn from normally distributed data
It is convenient to measure or estimate variation in samples or distributions in units of standard deviations. There are alternative methods of estimation of standard deviation aside from the conventional and well-known definition. Estimation of standard deviation for very small samples (as small as two), whereas not always ideal, might be useful in certain practical circumstances. A...
Study of L-kurtosis and several distribution families for prediction of uncertainty distributions, An applied software technical note concerning L-kurtosis use in daily salinity prediction from multiple machine learning methods
Statistical predictions that are based on multiple machine learning (MML) methods (from including differing training regimes) produce differing predictions. When the predictions are combined to a final estimate, then there are residuals of the predictions spread around the final estimate. It is common to assume normality or near-normality of the residuals (errors), but the assumption of...
RESTORE/covESTUSAL, Source code for construction of covariates bound to daily salinity and specific conductance data for purposes of statistical modeling in coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States
The RESTORE/covESTUSAL software repository contains R language source code useful for the construction of input tables of daily salinity and specific conductance (response variables) from multi-agency monitoring stations and potential predictor variables (covariates) intended for reuse in statistical model construction in coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States. The source...

Code and associated files hosted on USGS GitLab which support the USGS Chesapeake Bay Studies Data Catalog Application available at https://rconnect.usgs.gov/ChesapeakeBayDataCatalog/.
covMRVAgen1, Source code for construction of covariates bound to monthly groundwater levels for purposes of statistical modeling of water levels in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer
The covMRVAgen1 repository contains R (primarily), Mermaid, Perl, and Python language source code that can be used the construction of input tables of monthly groundwater levels (response variable) and predictor variables (covariates) for statistical modeling of water levels in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, south-central United...
mapRandomForest---Monthly flow estimation in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain by means of Random Forest Modeling
The code included in this package, when combined with data retrieved from an associated ScienceBase archive, is designed to allow for reasonable monthly total and baseflow volumes to be estimated at arbitrary locations within the Mississippi Embayment as part of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Project. The resulting surface water volume estimates were used as inputs to associated...
