====== Calc Multi Window Similarity of Differences ====== 

===== Description =====

{{:submodels:submodel16.png?nolink|Submodel}} Calculate the minimum fuzzy similarity using maps of changes for different window sizes.  

===== Inputs =====

^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
|  Initial Map   | [[categorical_map_type|Categorical Map]]  |  Initial map of simulation period.   |
| Observed Map  | [[categorical_map_type|Categorical Map]]  |  Observed (reference) Map.  |
| Simulated map  | [[categorical_map_type|Categorical Map]]  |  Simulated map.   |
| Maximum window size   | [[non_negative_integer_value_type|Non Negative Integer Value]]  |  Similarities are calculated from 1 up to the given window size. Only odd numbers are accepted.   |
| Print similarities   | [[boolean_value_type|Boolean Value]]  |  If true, print the values of the mean similarities on the application console.

===== Optional Inputs =====

None.

===== Outputs =====

^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
|  Similarities  | [[table_type|Table]]  |  Table containning the similarities per window size.  |

===== 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 values for each window size. All calculations are performed using a constant decay function.
