Calc Similarity of Differences

Description

Submodel Calculate the minimum fuzzy similarity using maps of changes.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Initial Map	Categorical Map	Initial map of simulation period.
Observed Map	Categorical Map	Observed (reference) Map.
Simulated map	Categorical Map	Simulated map.
Use exponential decay	Boolean Value	If true, the similarity is calculated using an exponential decay function truncated by the window size. Otherwise, a constant function is used within the specified window.
Window size	Integer Value	Only odd number are accepted
Print Similarities	Boolean Value	If true, print the values of the mean similarities on the application console.

Optional Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Exponential Decay Divisor	Real Value	Attenuation factor of the exponential decay function.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Similarity	Table	The minimum similarity.
Similarity map	Map	The minimum similarity map (map)

Notes

This operator calculates the map of differences between a initial map (first one of a time series) and an observed map (last one of a time series) and the differences between an initial map and a simulated map (the simulated one corresponding to the observed map). Then, these maps of differences are used by CalcReciprocalSimilarityMap to derive the minimum similarity value. All calculations are performed using a constant decay function.
