h7_mahe

HydroErr.HydroErr.h7_mahe(simulated_array: ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[floating | integer]] | Sequence[int | float], observed_array: ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[floating | integer]] | Sequence[int | float], replace_nan: float | None = None, replace_inf: float | None = None, remove_neg: bool = False, remove_zero: bool = False) → floating[Any]

Compute the H7 mean absolute error.

\[H_7 = \frac {S_i - O_i}{min(O_i,S_i)}\]
\[\text{Absolute H Error} =\frac {1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} |H|\]

Range:

Notes:

Parameters:

  • simulated_array – An array of simulated data from the time series.

  • observed_array – An array of observed data from the time series.

  • replace_nan – If given, indicates which value to replace NaN values with in the two arrays. If None, when a NaN value is found at the i-th position in the observed OR simulated array, the i-th value of the observed and simulated array are removed before the computation.

  • replace_inf – If given, indicates which value to replace Inf values with in the two arrays. If None, when an inf value is found at the i-th position in the observed OR simulated array, the i-th value of the observed and simulated array are removed before the computation.

  • remove_neg – If True, when a negative value is found at the i-th position in the observed OR simulated array, the i-th value of the observed AND simulated array are removed before the computation.

  • remove_zero – If true, when a zero value is found at the i-th position in the observed OR simulated array, the i-th value of the observed AND simulated array are removed before the computation.

Return type:

The mean absolute H7 error.

Examples

>>> import HydroErr as he
>>> import numpy as np

>>> sim = np.array([5, 7, 9, 2, 4.5, 6.7])
>>> obs = np.array([4.7, 6, 10, 2.5, 4, 7])
>>> he.h7_mahe(sim, obs)
0.14549033265788583
