\title{Bias Correction based on the mean and standard deviation adjustment}
\usage{
BiasCorrection(exp, obs, exp_cor = NULL, na.rm = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{exp}{a multidimensional array with named dimensions containing the seasonal forecast experiment data with at least 'member' and 'sdate' dimensions.}

\item{obs}{a multidimensional array with named dimensions containing the observed data with at least 'sdate' dimension.}

\item{exp_cor}{a multidimensional array with named dimensions containing the seasonl forecast experiment to be corrected. If it is NULL, the 'exp' forecast will be corrected.}

\item{na.rm}{a logical value indicating whether missing values should be stripped before the computation proceeds, by default it is set to FALSE.}
}
\value{
an object of class \code{s2dv_cube} containing the bias corrected forecasts in the element called \code{$data} with the same dimensions of the experimental data.
}
\description{
This function applies the simple bias adjustment technique described in Torralba et al. (2017). The adjusted forecasts have an equivalent standard deviation and mean to that of the reference dataset.

\examples{

# Example
# Creation of sample s2dverification objects. These are not complete
# s2dverification objects though. The Load function returns complete objects.

dim(obs1) <- c(dataset = 1, member = 1, sdate = 4, ftime = 5, lat = 6, lon = 7)
