\title{Function for matching a field of anomalies with 
a set of maps used as a reference (e.g. clusters obtained from the WeatherRegime function)}
\usage{
CST_RegimesAssign(data, ref_maps, method = "distance", composite = FALSE,
  ncores = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{data}{a 's2dv_cube' object.}

\item{ref_maps}{a 's2dv_cube' object as the output of CST_WeatherRegimes.}

\item{method}{whether the matching will be performed in terms of minimum distance (default=’distance’) or 
the maximum spatial correlation (method=’ACC’) between the maps.}

\item{composite}{a logical parameter indicating if the composite maps are computed or not (default=FALSE).}

\item{ncores}{the number of multicore threads to use for parallel computation.}
}
\value{
A list with two elements \code{$data} (a 's2dv_cube' object containing the composites cluster=1,..,K for case (*1)
        \code{$pvalue} (array with the same structure as \code{$data} containing the pvalue of the composites obtained through a t-test 
        that accounts for the serial dependence of the data with the same structure as Composite.)(only when composite = 'TRUE'),
        \code{$cluster} (array with the same dimensions as data (except latitude and longitude which are removed) indicating the ref_maps to which each point is allocated.) ,
        \code{$frequency} (A vector of integers (from k=1,...k n reference maps) indicating the percentage of assignations corresponding to each map.),
}
\description{
This function performs the matching between a field of anomalies and a set
of maps which will be used as a reference. The anomalies will be assigned to the reference map 
for which the minimum Eucledian distance (method=’distance’) or highest spatial correlation 
(method=‘ACC’) is obtained.

regimes <- CST_WeatherRegimes(data = lonlat_data$obs, EOFS = FALSE, ncenters = 4)
res1 <- CST_RegimesAssign(data=lonlat_data$exp, ref_maps = regimes,composite=FALSE)
res2 <- CST_RegimesAssign(data=lonlat_data$exp, ref_maps = regimes,composite=TRUE)
