Commands
TSTooI Fill Techniques and Associated Commands (continued)
Techni ue Command T ical Use
Historic fillHistMonthAverage () Use with monthly time series to estimate
Monthly missing monthly values as the average of
Average historic monthly values. For example, if
applied to monthly precipitation data, a
missing July value would be set to the
average of observed July precipitation values
(zero is an observation).
Historic Year fillHistYearAverage () Use with yearly time series to estimate
Avera e missin data as the avera e of annual values.
Interpolation fill Interpolate O Use to estimate missing data by interpolating
between non-missing values. For example,
use to estimate reservoir level chan es.
Maintenance f i 11MOVE1 () Use to estimate missing data using the
of Variance Maintenance of Variance Extension
(MOVE.1). For example, use to estimate
unregulated streamflow from a related gage.
This command is currentl not enabled.
Maintenance f i l1MOVE2 () Use to estimate missing data using the
of Variance Maintenance of Variance Extension
(MOVE2). For example, use to estimate
unregulated streamflow from a related gage.
This approach has been shown to be slightly
better than the MOVE.1 a roach.
Historic fillPattern O Similar to filling with historic averages with
Pattern additional complexity of classifying historic
Averages months into categories. For example,
historic averages for wet, dry, and average
periods are computed and used as the
historic averages. This command requires
that the setPatternFile O control
command also be used.
Prorate f i1lProrate () Fill a time series by prorating known values
with another time series.
Regression fillRegression () Use to estimate missing data by using
ordinary least squares regression. For
example, use to estimate streamflow from a
related a e.
Repeat f i 11Repeat () Use when it can be assumed that the last
observed value before a missing period is a
good estimate for missing data. For
example, use with "forecasted" data where
no future value is available for inte olation.
Using fillUsingDiversionComments () This command is only available with the
diversion HydroBase input type and uses diversion
comments comments to set additional diversion
amounts to zero.
