# Persistence Index (Kitadinis and Bras, 1980; Corradini et al., 1986) 
# is used to compare the model  performance agains a simple model using 
# the observed value of the previous day as the prediction for the current day.

#Kitanidis, P.K., and Bras, R.L. 1980. Real-time forecasting with a conceptual
#hydrologic model. 2. Applications and results. Water Resources Research,
#Vol. 16, No. 6, pp. 1034:1044.

# The coefficient of persistencec omparest he predictions of the model 
# with the predictions obtained by assuming that the process is a Wiener
# process(variance increasing linearly with time), in which case,
# the best estimate for the future is given by the latest measurement 
# (Kitadinis and Bras, 1980) 

# Persistence model efficiency (PME) is a normalized model evaluation statistic
# that quantifies the relative magnitude of the residual variance (noise)
# to the variance of the errors obtained by the use of a simple persistence 
# model

#   quantification of accuracy in watershed simulations.

# PME ranges from 0 to 1, with PME = 1 being the optimal value.
