DISCUSS - Limit the Metric Selection options

Hey Folks,

While running through testing of the rcmet.py code that asks all the
Question & Answers at the command line a user is presented with the
following list of Metric Options:

Metric options
> [0] Bias: mean bias across full time range
> [1] Mean Absolute Error: across full time range
> [2] Spatial Pattern Correlation: results in a time series of spatial
> correlation coeff
> [3] Temporal Correlation: results in 2-d array of temporal correlation
> coefficient
> [4] Spatial Pattern Correlation between averaged fields: results in a
> single correlation coeff
> [5] RMSE in time: results in a 2-d array of RMSE over two time series
> [6] TODO: Probability Distribution Function similarity score
> Please make a selection from the options above


Options 2 & 4 from the list do not work.

So I would like to hear from the community is we should either repair these
two options, or just remove them from the list, or some other option.

If you want to repeat what I am seeing, just grab a copy of the trunk (
apply Kyo and Alex's Patch to metrics.py if not applied yet) and run:

$  python rcmet.py


Thanks,


-Cameron

Chris,

I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-177 to track
this change.  Once I have this function tuned up I will re-test and if all
goes well we should have a new release candidate.

Thanks for the feedback,



-Cameron

+1 to removing them from the list, but documenting them as a TODO
in the code, or on the wiki.
