valmetrics (version 1.0.0)

e: e

Description

Calculates the Nash-Sutcliffe modelling efficiency (E) from observed and predicted values.

Usage

e(o, p)

Arguments

o

A numeric vector. Observed values.

p

A numeric vector. Predicted values.

Value

Nash-Sutcliffe modelling efficiency (E).

Details

Interpretation: a value of 1 means that all predicted values are equal to the observed values. A value of 0 means that the predictions explain as much of the variation in the observed values as the mean of the observed values does. A negative value means that the predictions are less accurate the mean of the observed values.
