quantile2disc: Convert Continuous Forecast Values to Discrete Forecast...

In verification: Weather Forecast Verification Utilities

Description

Converts continuous forecast values into discrete forecast values. This is necessary in calculating the quantile score decomposition. Discrete forecasts are defined by the mean value of forecasts within a bin specified by the bin vector (bin boundaries).

Usage

quantile2disc(x, bins)

Arguments

x	A vector of forecast values
bins	Vector with bin boundaries

Value

new	New vector x (continuous forecast values replaced with disretized forecast values)
mids	Vector of discrete forecast values

Note

This function is used within quantileScore.

Examples

x <- rnorm(100)
bins <- quantile(x,seq(0,1,length.out=11))

newx <- quantile2disc(x,bins)
