public class WeightedLeastDifferenceSelector extends FWSimulationSelector
Selects the simulation with the best error/deviation for multiple target variables. The general error is the weighted sum of the errors.

Configuration

User has to specify

  • the frequency at which values should be compared
  • the calculation method cMode (Bias,MRE,MAE,RMAE,MSE,RMSE,index,rc etc.)
  • the number of target variables cNumberOfVariables (up to 20)
  • for each target variable a pair of SimVariables cObserved{i}/cSimulated{i}
  • for each target variable the weight for the error cWeight{i}
  • {i} ranges from 1 to cNumberOfVariables

Outputs

  • the selected simulation id as a one size CHARARRAY selectedsimulations
  • the best ErrorValue achieved as DOUBLE
  • all simulations weighted sum of errors ErrorValues as DOUBLEARRAY
  • for each target variable all simulations error ErrorValuesVariable{i} as DOUBLEARRAY

Description

For a simulation the calculated values of different variables \(i = 1, ... cNumberOfVariables\) are compared to reference (measured) values (e.g. Yield, LAI, Biomass). The selector can handle maximum 20 different variables. Each variable exists pairwise in the simulation as observed\simulated. Observed variables normally come from a resource (datafile), where simulated ones are calculated. (Notice: The selector works also, if both variables come from resources or if both are simulated.)

For each of these variables \(n\) samples are produced by the simulation (\(n\) is determined by the simulated time span and the selectors frequence information).

Let \(\mathcal{E}: \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n\ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be the selected calculation method - e.g. the bias \(E(o,s)=\sum_{j=1}^n o_j - s_j\)

The weighted difference is then

\[ E = \frac{1}{\omega}\sum_{i=1}^{cNumberOfVariables} cWeight_i \mathcal{E}(cObserved_i,cSimulated_i) \] where \(\omega\) is the sum of weights: \[ \omega = \sum_{i=1}^{cNumberOfVariables} cWeight_i \]

If \(k= 1, ... l\) simulations are performed within a project, then the selector calculates all weighted errors \(E_k\) and selects the simulation with the best error. (The best error depends on the calculation method for RMSE it's the one closest to 0, for agreement index closest to 1 etc.)

The output NuberOfValues counts the number of simulations used for comparison. Normally it's equal to \(l\), but it can be lower because simulations that produce no usable result (i.e. \(E_k\) could not be calculated) are skipped.
