Method Summary

double	calculate(double[] obs, double[] sim, double missingValue) Calculates the objective function value based on the given simulated and observed values.
boolean	positiveDirection() This method tells you if it is good for the objective function value to be large.

Method Detail

calculate

double calculate(double[] obs,
                 double[] sim,
                 double missingValue)

Calculates the objective function value based on the given simulated and observed values. If measuredValue[i] <= missingValue (where 0<=i

Parameters:

obs - the observed values

sim - the simulated values

missingValue - the missing value that indicates a observed or/and simulated value is missing

Returns:

the objective function value.

positiveDirection

boolean positiveDirection()

This method tells you if it is good for the objective function value to be large.

Returns:

true if a greater objective function value is considered better. false is returned otherwise.
