afc.nn: 2AFC For Nominal Polychotomous Observations And Nominal Polychotomous

Description

Routine to calculate the Generalized Discrimination Score (aka Two-Alternatives Forced Choice Score 2AFC) for the situation of polychotomous observations (nominal) and polychotomous forecasts (nominal)

Usage

afc.nn(obsv, fcst, m = 3)

Arguments

obsv
vector with polychotomous observations (values in 1,..,m)
fcst
vector of same length as obsv with polychotomous forecasts (values in 1,..,m)
m
number of observation and forecast categories (default = 3)

Value

p.afc
Value of Generalized Discrimination (2AFC) Score

Run this code

  #Forecasts and observations of Nino-3.4 index
  #Load set of polychotomous observations and polychotomous forecasts (4 categories)
  data(cnrm.nino34.mm)
  obsv = cnrm.nino34.mm$obsv
  fcst = cnrm.nino34.mm$fcst
