Combine predictions into an ensemble using the circular mean

Make predictions by calculating the circular mean of the predictions across members of the ensemble.

Usage

zeitzeigerEnsembleMean(timePredInput, timeMax = 1, naRm = TRUE)

Arguments

timePredInput

Matrix of predicted times in which rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to members of the ensemble.

timeMax

Maximum value of the periodic variable, i.e., the value that is equivalent to zero.

naRm

Logical indicating whether NA values should be removed from the calculation.

Value

Matrix with a row for each observation and columns for the predicted time and the normalized magnitude of the circular mean. The latter can range from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating perfect agreement among members of the ensemble.
