Calc Similarity of Differences
Description
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
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.
