mse(sim, obs, ...)

## Default S3 method:
mse(sim, obs, na.rm=TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
mse(sim, obs, na.rm=TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
mse(sim, obs, na.rm=TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'zoo'
mse(sim, obs, na.rm=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

sim

numeric, zoo, matrix or data.frame with simulated values

obs

numeric, zoo, matrix or data.frame with observed values

na.rm

a logical value indicating whether 'NA' should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
When an 'NA' value is found at the i-th position in obs OR sim, the i-th value of obs AND sim are removed before the computation.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

mse = mean( (sim - obs)^2, na.rm = TRUE)

Value

Mean squared error between sim and obs.

If sim and obs are matrixes, the returned value is a vector, with the mean squared error between each column of sim and obs.

Note

obs and sim has to have the same length/dimension

The missing values in obs and sim are removed before the computation proceeds, and only those positions with non-missing values in obs and sim are considered in the computation
