potentiomap 0.2.0
Observation
preparation and quality checks
- Added
ps_check_observations(),
ps_select_event(), and ps_screen_groups() with
record-level issue, exclusion, ambiguity, and grouping manifests.
Validation and tuning
- Added deterministic leave-one-out, random-fold, spatial-block,
leave-cluster-out, user-fold, and independent validation through
ps_validate().
- Added design-specific method comparison, diagnostic plotting,
exhaustive or reproducibly sampled candidate tuning, and optional nested
validation.
Variograms, anisotropy, and
trends
- Added empirical and directional variograms, independent
candidate-model fitting, exploratory anisotropy, explicit variogram
models, neighborhoods, anisotropy, trends, and raster or table
covariates for kriging.
Support and uncertainty
- Added compatible-surface ensembles and method-disagreement
products.
- Added retained kriging variance, conditional Gaussian simulation,
supported TPS standard error, resampling sensitivity, and pointwise
contour bands with explicit terminology and assumptions.
- Prediction-support products retain training-hull,
observation-distance, mask, and finite-prediction information, and
modeled contours can be split by user-defined support criteria without
calling those classes confidence.
Surface and event
comparisons
- Added aligned surface comparisons, paired-event head change, and
numeric or raster vertical hydraulic gradients with explicit sign
conventions.
- Structured interpolation and contour results inventory diagnostics,
conditions, requested methods or levels, and nonfinite outputs.
Monitoring-network analysis
- Added conditional leave-one-well influence, reproducible network
thinning, constrained sequential candidate ranking, and explicit
parameter/grid sensitivity scenarios.
Profiles,
cross-sections, and depth products
- Added water-table or potentiometric depth surfaces, sampled surface
profiles, and plot-ready cross-sections with well offsets and screen
elevations.
GIS and reporting
- Added validated open QML/SLD style export and offline HTML/DOCX
technical reports from a package-owned template.
- Hydraulic-gradient arrows retain endpoint support checks and the
explicit
endpoint_action = "none" legacy geometry
option.
Documentation
- Added small deterministic fixtures, expanded function examples,
integrated vignettes, website articles, scientific due diligence, and
release audits.
- Rebuilt the hydrogeologist-facing README, package help, reference
index, and Bootstrap 5 website configuration, with guidance for on-disk
rasters and larger prediction grids.
Compatibility
- Existing public functions remain exported, and
ps_interpolate() continues to return a named list of
SpatRaster objects by default.
- Structured interpolation results now also retain exact template and
method-fit objects needed by validation and model-conditional
uncertainty.
ps_contours() still returns a SpatVector
by default; structured interpolation and contour results remain
opt-in.- Existing public names and valid positional calls remain available,
requested interpolation methods are not silently replaced, and universal
kriging keeps the documented
uk_coordinate_scaling = "none"
compatibility option.
