WRTDS Class¶
The main entry point for the wrtds-py package. Provides a high-level interface that chains data preparation, model fitting, trend analysis, and plotting.

WRTDS class — main entry point for Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season.
WRTDS
¶
Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season.
This is the primary user-facing class. It wraps the lower-level modules
(data_prep, regression, surfaces, flow_norm, cross_val)
behind a fluent API where mutating methods return self for chaining::
model = WRTDS(daily_df, sample_df).fit()
print(model.daily[['Date', 'ConcDay', 'FluxDay', 'FNConc', 'FNFlux']])
Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
daily |
Daily discharge DataFrame (populated with derived columns). |
|
sample |
Water-quality sample DataFrame (populated with derived columns). |
|
info |
Site / parameter metadata dict. |
|
surfaces |
3-D numpy array |
|
surface_index |
Grid parameter dict after :meth: |
