hydroState: Hidden Markov Modelling of Hydrological State Change

Identifies regime changes in streamflow runoff not explained by variations in precipitation. The package builds a flexible set of Hidden Markov Models of annual, seasonal or monthly streamflow runoff with precipitation as a predictor. Suites of models can be built for a single site, ranging from one to three states and each with differing combinations of error models and auto-correlation terms. The most parsimonious model is easily identified by AIC, and useful for understanding catchment drought non-recovery: Peterson TJ, Saft M, Peel MC & John A (2021) <doi:10.1126/science.abd5085>.
