The maximum time weighted average concentration for a moving window

If you generate your time series using sawtooth, you need to make sure that the length of the time series allows for finding the maximum. It is therefore recommended to check this using plot.one_box using the window size for the argument max_twa.

max_twa(x, window = 21)

Arguments

x

An object of type one_box

window

The size of the moving window

Details

The method working directly on fitted mkinfit objects uses the equations given in the PEC soil section of the FOCUS guidance and is restricted SFO, FOMC and DFOP models and to the parent compound
