                        double missingValue)

Description copied from interface: ObjectiveFunction

Calculates the objective function value based on the given simulated and observed values. If measuredValue[i] <= missingValue (where 0<=i

Specified by:

calculate in interface ObjectiveFunction

Parameters:

obs - the observed values

sim - the simulated values

missingValue - the missing value that indicates a observed or/and simulated value is missing

Returns:

the objective function value.

positiveDirection

public boolean positiveDirection()
