#'@description This function perform a downscaling using Analogs. To compute 
#'the analogs, the function search for days with similar large scale conditions
#'to downscaled fields to a local scale. The large scale and the local scale 
#'regions are defined by the user. The large scale is usually given by 
#'atmospheric circulation as sea level pressure or geopotential height 
#'(Yiou et al, 2013) but the function gives the possibility to use another 
#'field. The local scale will be usually given by precipitation or temperature 
#'fields, but might be another variable.The analogs function will find the best
#'analogs based in Minimum Euclidean distance in the large scale pattern
#'(i.e.SLP).
#'
#'The search of analogs must be done in the longest dataset posible. This is 
#'important since it is necessary to have a good representation of the 
#'possible states of the field in the past, and therefore, to get better 
#'analogs. 
#'This function has not constrains of specific regions, variables to downscale,
#'or data to be used (seasonal forecast data, climate projections data, 
#'reanalyses data). The regrid into a finner scale is done interpolating with 
#'CST_Load. Then, this interpolation is corrected selecting the analogs in the 
#'large and local scale in based of the observations. The function is an 
#'adapted version of the method of Yiou et al 2013. For an advanced search of 
#'Analogs (multiple Analogs, different criterias, further information from the
#'metrics and date of the selected Analogs) use the'Analog'
#'function within 'CSTools' package.

#'@param expL an 's2dv_cube' object containing the experimental field on the 
#'large scale for which the analog is aimed. This field is used to in all the
#'criterias. If parameter 'expVar' is not provided, the function will return 
#'the expL analog. The element 'data' in the 's2dv_cube' object must have, at
#'least, latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions. The object is expect to be 
#'already subset for the desired large scale region.
#'@param obsL an 's2dv_cube' object containing the observational field on the
#'large scale. The element 'data' in the 's2dv_cube' object must have the same 
#'latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions as parameter 'expL' and a temporal 
#'dimension with the maximum number of available observations.
#'@param expVar an 's2dv_cube' object containing the experimental field on the
#'local scale, usually a different variable to the parameter 'expL'. If it is 
#'not NULL (by default, NULL), the returned field by this function will be the 
#'analog of parameter 'expVar'.
#'@param obsVar an 's2dv_cube' containing the field of the same variable as the 
#'passed in parameter 'expVar' for the same region.
#'@param region a vector of length four indicating the minimum longitude, the 
#'maximum longitude, the minimum latitude and the maximum latitude.
#'@param criteria a character string indicating the criteria to be used for the
#'selection of analogs:
#'\itemize{
#'\item{Large_dist} minimum Euclidean distance in the large scale pattern; 
#'\item{Local_dist} minimum Euclidean distance in the large scale pattern 
#'and minimum Euclidean distance in the local scale pattern; and
#'\item{Local_cor} minimum Euclidean distance in the large scale pattern, 
#'minimum Euclidean distance in the local scale pattern and highest 
#'correlation in the local variable to downscale.} 
#'@param excludeTime an array of N named dimensions (coinciding with time dimensions in expL) 
#'of character string(s) indicating the date(s) of the observations 
#'in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" to be excluded during the search of analogs.
#' It can be NULL but if expL is not a forecast (time_expL contained in time_obsL),
#' by default time_expL will be removed during the search of analogs.
#'@param time_expL a character string indicating the date of the experiment 
#'in the same format than time_obsL (i.e. "yyyy-mm-dd"). By default it is NULL 
#'and dates are taken from element \code{$Dates$start} from expL.
#'@param time_obsL a character string indicating the date of the observations 
#'in the date format (i.e. "yyyy-mm-dd"). By default it is NULL and dates are taken from 
#'element \code{$Dates$start} from obsL.
#'@param region a vector of length four indicating the minimum longitude, 
#'the maximum longitude, the minimum latitude and the maximum latitude.
#'@param nAnalogs number of Analogs to be selected to apply the criterias 
#''Local_dist' or 'Local_cor'. This is not the necessary the number of analogs 
#'that the user can get, but the number of events with minimum distance in 
#'which perform the search of the best Analog. The default value for the 
#''Large_dist' criteria is 1, for 'Local_dist' and 'Local_cor' criterias must
#' be greater than 1 in order to match with the first criteria, if nAnalogs is
#' NULL for 'Local_dist' and 'Local_cor' the default value will be set at the 
#' length of 'time_obsL'. If AnalogsInfo is FALSE the function returns just 
#' the best analog.
#'@param AnalogsInfo TRUE to get a list with two elements: 1) the downscaled 
#'field and 2) the AnalogsInfo which contains: a) the number of the best 
#'analogs, b) the corresponding value of the metric used in the selected 
#'criteria (distance values for Large_dist and Local_dist,correlation values 
#'for Local_cor), c)dates of the analogs). The analogs are listed in decreasing
#'order, the first one is the best analog (i.e if the selected criteria is 
#'Local_cor the best analog will be the one with highest correlation, while for
#'Large_dist criteria the best analog will be the day with minimum Euclidean 
#'distance). Set to FALSE to get a single analog, the best analog, for instance
#'for downscaling.
