In afc: Generalized Discrimination Score

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Routine to calculate the Generalized Discrimination Score (aka Two-Alternatives Forced Choice Score 2AFC) for the situation of dichotomous observations and continuous forecasts

1	afc.dc(obsv, fcst)

`obsv`	vector with dichotomous observations (values in 0,1)
`fcst`	vector of same length as obsv with real-valued forecasts

This routine applies Eq.8 of Mason and Weigel (2009) to calculate the 2AFC.
