Checks whether the assessments in a HARSAT assessment object have converged. Currently only does detailed checks for models with normal or lognormal errors (all chemical timeseries and some biological effects). Here it checks whether:

  • fixed effect estimates are away from their bounds

  • random effect estimates are lower than their upper bounds; they can of course be equal to zero

  • standard errors are present for model predictions and fixed effects estimates

  • standard errors of the fixed effects estimates are realistic (very small standard errors indicate problems with the numerical differencing used to compute the standard errors)

Usage

check_assessment(assessment_ob, save_result = FALSE)

Arguments

assessment_ob

A HARSAT assessment object resulting from a call to ctsm_assessment

save_result

Saves the identifiers of the timeseries that have not converged; defaults to FALSE. When an assessment has been done in stages, the output also identifies those timeseries that have not yet been assessed

Value

A list of two character vectors:

  • not_converged identifies timeseries that have not converged

  • not_assessed identifies timeseries that have not been assessed
