5 Apèndix B Paràmetres estadístics utilitzats Biaix (MBE; Mean Bias Error): Serveix per determinar si una variable x té en conjunt uns valors majors o menors que la variable y. Per defecte, quan no s especifiqui res més, en comparar dues variables x i y, el seu biaix s haurà calculat fent la resta x-y. MBE = 1 N N x i y i. (B.1) i=1 Error quadràtic mitjà (RMSE; Root Mean Square Error): Serveix per determinar les desviacions entre dues variables x i y evitant que es compensin les diferències negatives i positives respecte de la mitjana. RMSE = 1 N N (x i y i ) 2. (B.2) i=1 Tant el biaix com l error quadràtic mitjà són paràmetres útils a l hora de caracteritzar les diferències absolutes o relatives entre dues variables. En aquest darrer cas, per calcular-ho s ha pres per defecte la diferència relativa entre x i y com x y, excepte en el cas de comparar models i mesures, assignant x sempre com a denominador, la mesura. 137

6 Coeficient de correlació (r 2 ): estan molt o poc correlacionades. Serveix per indicar si dues variables x i y r 2 = [ N i=1 (x i x>)(y i y>)] 2 Ni=1 (x i x>) 2 N i=1 (y i y) 2, (B.3) on x i y són les mitjanes de les variables x i y i es calculen com: x = 1 N N x i. (B.4) i=1 138
