Compute Miscanthus yield quantiles for Illinois

[dlebauer]

• First evaluate for champaign for testing
• output file should contain columns lat, lon, year, lcl, median, ucl
  • generate example outputfile
  • compute 25th, 50th, 75th quantile for each year x grid cell

@taolin1 I've made a sample dataset that you can use in data/mxg_il_example.csv

[taolin1]

Thanks for the data. I just went through it and did not see the year information. Would you also provide that as well?

[taolin1]

One more question: Shall we create a page to describe our project and use that page to monitor our progress? Please let me know where you should create that page.

@taolin1

• I put an example with county-level lcl, median, ucl in the data/ folder
• for monitoring progress, using milestones, issues, and tasks is useful (see PEcAn wiki)
• for keeping track of the overall objectives, I think that the README.Rmd file is a good place to start; it provides an overview and is easily visible on the repositories home page.

The new data sample looks great. I will work on model development to incorporate these data.
Will create a README.Rmd page to provides an overview of our project.

Note that README.Rmd is already in the root directory of this repository; the contents appear if you scroll down.

And, magically, Rstudio makes it easy to compile as (pdf, word, or) html: http://rawgit.com/ebimodeling/biocro_regional/master/README.html

Hi David,

I went through the root directory you mentioned. It seems that it is focused on the BioCro regional modeling. I would suggest we can create a new repository for our project. Maybe we can call it “CyberGIS-BioCro-BioScope”. Let me know your thoughts. We will share this link with Shaowen and Luis for their reference.

Let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Tao

We could have three repositories:

1. CyberGIS-BioScope (do you already have one?)
2. CyberGIS-BioCro (which could be this one)
3. CyberGIS-BioCro-BioScope this would be for the proposed analysis, but would have 1 and 2 as dependencies (mostly contain analysis code, including what was in the README).

I think 1 and 2 should be separate, but we can create 2) when someone is ready to work on the CyberGIS-BioCro interface.

I can create a new repository, but I feel i would mostly be moving the contents of this one over there - let me know what you think. We can just as easily adapt this one (even change its name). I went ahead and moved the contents of README.Rmd to a new file (BioCro_runs.Rmd) and created a blank README where you can get started on the scoping.

CyberGIS-BioScope has been developed already but not documented in GitHub...

I agree with your suggestion. I will go ahead to add some contents on the
blank README page. Feel free to edit and add information later. I would say
the first step is BioCro-BioScope, and then CyberGIS-BioCro or
CyberGIS-BioCro-BioScope.
