rsr

Ratio of RMSE to the standard deviation of the observations


Description

Ratio of the RMSE between simulated and observed values to the standard deviation of the observations.

Usage

rsr(sim, obs, ...)

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

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

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

## S3 method for class 'zoo'
rsr(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.

Value

Ratio of RMSE to the standard deviation of the observations.

If sim and obs are matrixes, the returned value is a vector, with the RSR 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
