verifRankHist | R Documentation |
Computes the rank of verifying observations relative to the corresponding ensemble forecasts and plots its histogram.
verifRankHist( forecasts, observations)
forecasts |
A matrix of ensemble forecasts, in which the rows corresponds to locations and times and the columns correspond to the individual ensemble members. |
observations |
A vector of observations corresponding to the locations and times of the forecasts. |
The verification rank is used to assess calibration of a forecast ensemble. A more uniform verification rank histogram indicates better calibartion.
A vector giving the rank of verifying observations relative to the corresponding ensemble forecasts. The verification rank historgram is plotted.
