proto_event

Detect proto-events based on a chosen criterion (column).

An internal function that detects the events according to the heatwave definition, and joins across the gaps if desired.

proto_event(t_series, criterion_column, minDuration, joinAcrossGaps, maxGap)

`t_series`	A dataframe of the correct dimensions inherited from `detect_event` within which this runs.
`criterion_column`	The column to use for the detection of events.
`minDuration`	Minimum duration for acceptance of detected events.
`joinAcrossGaps`	This logic gate tells this internal function if it should connect events across the `maxGap` (see below). The default it inherits is `TRUE`.
`maxGap`	This is the number of rows (days) across which distinct events will be combined into one event if `joinAcrossGaps = TRUE`.

A dataframe that will be used within detect_event, or which can be returned by detect_event if the switch 'protoEvent' is specified as TRUE.
