Fair RPS and RPSS when inputs are probabilities
Hi
The current version of RPS and RPSS accept probabilities. For the fair version of these metrics, the calculation requires the number of members from which these probabilities were calculated. A new parameter is required because the data inputs don't have a member dimension. I named it nmemb
and it is only required when Fair is TRUE.
I am not using the reference forecast parameter, but in that case, the number of members may differ from those in the experiment. Therefore, in the RPSS case, a new nmemb_ref
parameter is needed.
When the climatology is the reference forecast, nmemb_ref
should be equal to the number of years used to compute the climatology.
These changes are included in the development branch fairrps
