This project is an implementation of Qian Di's air pollution prediction model.

All new branches should be branched off of the test branch. Each branch off of that should be focused on implementing one specific feature for the overall program. Features should be developed and tested in their individual branches, then merged into test for integrated testing. If all merged features in test are functioning together, then test can be merged into master.

All new functions added to the package should utilize the same configuration file paradigm wherein there are no required parameters for any user facing functions. To add a new field to the configuration file (often required when new functionality is being added) please do the following:

1. Add the field and a reasonable default value to the appropriate default configuration file in inst/yaml_files. This will most likely be the 'Config_Default.yml' file unless changes to training parameters are being made.

2. Please create a getter function in R/config.R. This function have the name get_<field_name> with no inputs. It should return an error if there is no configuration file (see other getter functions for the standard check). Otherwise it should return the value from the configuration file as an object ready to be used without any further processing (such as converting from a string to another type).
