#'@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 in the 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, but might be another variable. 
#' The analogs function will find the best analogs based in three criterias:
#' (1) Minimal distance in the large scale pattern (i.e. SLP)
#' (2) Minimal distance in the large scale pattern (i.e. SLP) and minimal 
#' distance in the local scale pattern (i.e. SLP). 
#' (3) Minimal distance in the large scale pattern (i.e. SLP), minimal 
#' distance in the local scale pattern (i.e. SLP) and maxima correlation in the 
#' local variable to downscale (i.e Precipitation).
#' 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. Once the search of the analogs is complete, and in order to used the 
#' three criterias the user can select a number of analogs nAnalogs to restrict 
#' the selection of the best analogs in a short number of posibilities, the best
#' ones. By default this parameter will be 1.
#' 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.
