agreement_index() float[source]

Agreement Index (d) developed by Willmott, 1981.

It detects additive and pro-portional differences in the observed and simulated means and vari-ances Moriasi et al., 2015. It is overly sensitive to extreme values due to the squared differences. It can also be used as a substitute for R2 to identify the degree to which model predic-tions are error-free.

\[d = 1 - \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N}(e_{i} - s_{i})^2}{\sum_{i=1}^{N}(\left | s_{i} - \bar{e} \right | + \left | e_{i} - \bar{e} \right |)^2}\]

bic(p=1) float[source]

Bayesian Information Criterion

Minimising the BIC is intended to give the best model. The model chosen by the BIC is either the same as that chosen by the AIC, or one with fewer terms. This is because the BIC penalises the number of parameters more heavily than the AIC. Modified after RegscorePy.

brier_score() float[source]

Adopted from SkillMetrics Calculates the Brier score (BS), a measure of the mean-square error of probability forecasts for a dichotomous (two-category) event, such as the occurrence/non-occurrence of precipitation. The score is calculated using the formula:

\[BS = sum_(n=1)^N (f_n - o_n)^2/N\]

where f is the forecast probabilities, o is the observed probabilities (0 or 1), and N is the total number of values in f & o. Note that f & o must have the same number of values, and those values must be in the range [0,1].

Returns:

BS : Brier score

Return type:

float

nse() float[source]

Nash-Sutcliff Efficiency.

It determine how well the model simulates trends for the output response of concern. But cannot help identify model bias and cannot be used to identify differences in timing and magnitude of peak flows and shape of recession curves; in other words, it cannot be used for single-event simulations. It is sensitive to extreme values due to the squared differ-ences [1]. To make it less sensitive to outliers, [2] proposed log and relative nse.

pbias() float[source]

Percent Bias. It determine how well the model simulates the average magnitudes for the output response of interest. It can also determine over and under-prediction. It cannot be used (1) for single-event simula-tions to identify differences in timing and magnitude of peak flows and the shape of recession curves nor (2) to determine how well the model simulates residual variations and/or trends for the output response of interest. It can give a deceiving rating of model performance if the model overpredicts as much as it underpredicts, in which case PBIAS will be close to zero even though the model simulation is poor. [1]

[1] Moriasi et al., 2015

r2() float[source]

Quantifies the percent of variation in the response that the ‘model’ explains. The ‘model’ here is anything from which we obtained predicted array. It is also called coefficient of determination or square of pearson correlation coefficient. More heavily affected by outliers than pearson correlatin r.

Root mean square log error.

This error is less sensitive to outliers . Compared to RMSE, RMSLE only considers the relative error between predicted and actual values, and the scale of the error is nullified by the log-transformation. Furthermore, RMSLE penalizes underestimation more than overestimation. This is especially useful in those studies where the underestimation of the target variable is not acceptable but overestimation can be tolerated .

skill_score_murphy() float[source]

Adopted from here . Calculate non-dimensional skill score (SS) between two variables using definition of Murphy (1988) using the formula:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}SS = 1 - RMSE^2/SDEV^2\\SDEV is the standard deviation of the true values\\SDEV^2 = sum_(n=1)^N [r_n - mean(r)]^2/(N-1)\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

where p is the predicted values, r is the reference values, and N is the total number of values in p & r. Note that p & r must have the same number of values. A positive skill score can be interpreted as the percentage of improvement of the new model forecast in comparison to the reference. On the other hand, a negative skill score denotes that the forecast of interest is worse than the referencing forecast. Consequently, a value of zero denotes that both forecasts perform equally [MLAir, 2020].

Returns:
