pysteps.verification.spatialscores.intensity_scale_init

pysteps.verification.spatialscores.intensity_scale_init(name, thrs, scales=None, wavelet='Haar')

Initialize an intensty-scale verification object.

Parameters:

name : string

A string indicating the name of the spatial verification score to be used:

Name	Description
FSS	Fractions skill score
BMSE	Binary mean squared error

thrs : sequence

A sequence of intensity thresholds for which to compute the verification.

scales : sequence, optional

A sequence of spatial scales in pixels to be used in the FSS.

wavelet : str, optional

The name of the wavelet function to use in the BMSE. Defaults to the Haar wavelet, as described in Casati et al. 2004. See the documentation of PyWavelets for a list of available options.

Returns:

out : dict

The intensity-scale object.
