#'@param exp An object of class \code{s2dv_cube} as returned by \code{CST_Load} 
#'  function, containing the seasonal hindcast experiment data in the element 
#'  named \code{$data}. The hindcast is used to calibrate the forecast in case 
#'  the forecast is provided; if not, the same hindcast will be calibrated 
#'  instead.
#'@param obs An object of class \code{s2dv_cube} as returned by \code{CST_Load} 
#'  function, containing the observed data in the element named \code{$data}.
#'@param exp_cor An optional object of class \code{s2dv_cube} as returned by 
#'  \code{CST_Load} function, containing the seasonal forecast experiment data 
#'  in the element named \code{$data}. If the forecast is provided, it will be 
#'  calibrated using the hindcast and observations; if not, the hindcast will be 
#'  calibrated instead.
#'@param cal.method Is the calibration method used, can be either \code{bias}, 
#'  \code{evmos}, \code{mse_min}, \code{crps_min} or \code{rpc-based}. Default 
#'  value is \code{mse_min}.
#'@param eval.method Is the sampling method used, can be either \code{in-sample} 
#'  or \code{leave-one-out}. Default value is the \code{leave-one-out} cross 
#'  validation. In case the forecast is provided, any chosen eval.method is 
#'  over-ruled and a third option is used.
#'@param multi.model Is a boolean that is used only for the \code{mse_min} 
#'  method. If multi-model ensembles or ensembles of different sizes are used, 
#'  it must be set to \code{TRUE}. By default it is \code{FALSE}. Differences 
#'  between the two approaches are generally small but may become large when 
#'  using small ensemble sizes. Using multi.model when the calibration method is 
#'  \code{bias}, \code{evmos} or \code{crps_min} will not affect the result.
#'@param na.fill Is a boolean that indicates what happens in case calibration is 
#'  not possible or will yield unreliable results. This happens when three or 
#'  less forecasts-observation pairs are available to perform the training phase 
#'  of the calibration. By default \code{na.fill} is set to true such that NA 
#'  values will be returned. If \code{na.fill} is set to false, the uncorrected 
#'  data will be returned. 
#'@param na.rm Is a boolean that indicates whether to remove the NA values or 
#'  not. The default value is \code{TRUE}. See Details section for further 
#'  information about its use and compatibility with \code{na.fill}.
#'@param apply_to Is a character string that indicates whether to apply the 
#'  calibration to all the forecast (\code{"all"}) or only to those where the 
#'  correlation between the ensemble mean and the observations is statistically 
#'  significant (\code{"sign"}). Only useful if \code{cal.method == "rpc-based"}.
#'@param alpha Is a numeric value indicating the significance level for the 
#'  correlation test. Only useful if \code{cal.method == "rpc-based" & 
#'  apply_to == "sign"}.
#'@param memb_dim Is a character string indicating the name of the member 
#'  dimension. By default, it is set to 'member'.
#'@param sdate_dim Is a character string indicating the name of the start date 
#'  dimension. By default, it is set to 'sdate'.
#'@param ncores Is an integer that indicates the number of cores for parallel 
#'  computations using multiApply function. The default value is one.
#'@return An object of class \code{s2dv_cube} containing the calibrated 
#'forecasts in the element \code{$data} with the same dimensions as the one in 
#'the exp object.

#'@description Five types of member-by-member bias correction can be performed. 
#'The \code{"bias"} method corrects the bias only, the \code{"evmos"} method 
#'applies a variance inflation technique to ensure the correction of the bias 
#'and the correspondence of variance between forecast and observation (Van 
#'Schaeybroeck and Vannitsem, 2011). The ensemble calibration methods 
#'\code{"mse_min"} and \code{"crps_min"} correct the bias, the overall forecast 
#'variance and the ensemble spread as described in Doblas-Reyes et al. (2005) 
#'and Van Schaeybroeck and Vannitsem (2015), respectively. While the 
#'\code{"mse_min"} method minimizes a constrained mean-squared error using three 
#'parameters, the \code{"crps_min"} method features four parameters and 
#'minimizes the Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS). The 
#'\code{"rpc-based"} method adjusts the forecast variance ensuring that the 
#'ratio of predictable components (RPC) is equal to one, as in Eade et al. (2014).
#'@description Both in-sample or our out-of-sample (leave-one-out cross 
#'validation) calibration are possible.

#'Both the \code{na.fill} and \code{na.rm} parameters can be used to indicate

#'uncorrected value if \code{na.fill == TRUE}). On the other hand, \code{na.rm}
