+#' Set non-detects and unquantified values in residue series without replicates
+#'
+#' This function automates replacing unquantified values in residue time and
+#' depth series. For time series, the function performs part of the residue
+#' processing proposed in the FOCUS kinetics guidance for parent compounds
+#' and metabolites. For two-dimensional residue series over time and depth,
+#' it automates the proposal of Boesten et al (2015).
+#'
+#' @param res_raw Character vector of a residue time series, or matrix of
+#' residue values with rows representing depth profiles for a specific sampling
+#' time, and columns representing time series of residues at the same depth.
+#' Values below the limit of detection (lod) have to be coded as "nd", values
+#' between the limit of detection and the limit of quantification, if any, have
+#' to be coded as "nq". Samples not analysed have to be coded as "na". All
+#' values that are not "na", "nd" or "nq" have to be coercible to numeric
+#' @param lod Limit of detection (numeric)
+#' @param loq Limit of quantification(numeric). Must be specified if the FOCUS rule to
+#' stop after the first non-detection is to be applied
+#' @param time_zero_presence Do we assume that residues occur at time zero?
+#' This only affects samples from the first sampling time that have been
+#' reported as "nd" (not detected).
