# Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency not "inflated" by squared values
# Essentially, the closer the model efficiency is to 1, the more accurate the model is.  

# 'obs' : numeric 'data.frame', 'matrix' or 'vector' with observed values
# 'sim' : numeric 'data.frame', 'matrix' or 'vector' with simulated values

# 'Result': Modified Nash-sutcliffe Efficiency between 'sim' and 'obs'
