Hello Jim,
Thanks for the response. I have the algorithm based on the original
paper (Bryant et al. 1994) and subsequent modification by Philips and
McGregor(1994). The latter gives the formula for calculating the index
in MS Excel. I'm trying to translate it to R.

Does anyone have the code to calculate the drought severity index?
Hi Muhammad,
If you mean "does anyone have the algorithm?" it seems pretty hard to
find. Even that old standby Wikipedia didn't have a description of
Palmer's algorithm. If you happen to have the algorithm but not the R
code, perhaps mentioning that might get some responses.
Jim
