measure.cor: Correlation

In SantanderMetGroup/VALUE: Climate data validation in the framework of the COST action VALUE

Correlation

Description

Function to compute the temporal correlation between the observed and predicted time series.

Usage

measure.cor(
  indexObs = NULL,
  indexPrd = NULL,
  obs,
  prd,
  dates,
  method = c("pearson", "kendall", "spearman"),
  deseason = NULL,
  aggregation = NULL
)

Arguments

indexObs	index computed from the observations
indexPrd	index computed from the predictions
obs	A vector of observations
prd	A vector of predictions
dates	dates
method	Type of correlation applied. Options: c("pearson","kendall","spearman").
deseason	Default to NULL, and ignored. Only used if removal of the seasonal cycle is to be done. In this case, this is an integer number indicating the width, in days, of the window used for moving average computation of the reference daily climatology. This argument is passed to deseason.VALUE via wrapperFUN.
aggregation	temporal aggregation options

Value

A float number corresponding to the correlation coefficient of choice between the predicted and observed series.
