what to do when dates have differing number of rows? #287

Open aappling-usgs opened 7 years ago

site nwis_04136900 has 24 obs per day for 5/6 of its record, 96 obs per day for the last 1/6. bayesian models with split_days=FALSE break here where MLE models and no-pooling bayesian models worked fine. what to do? could

  1. refuse to model the site
  2. manually set start-end dates to only include those dates with the maximum obs per day
  3. manually set start-end dates and run multiple models, one per resolution. then recombine to create gpp_estBest, etc.
  4. subset to the least common denominator (for nwis_04136900 that's 24 obs/day) and model all the days at that resolution

ended up splitting dates by resolution, even when each resolution was not continuous. still need to recombine.
