burakDiagrams: Interactive Burak Diagrams for Model Performance Evaluation

Creates interactive 3D Burak Diagrams for evaluating climatological and hydrological simulations. The BD-Clim framework evaluates climatological simulations by representing correlation, standard deviation, centered root mean-square difference, bias, and root mean-square difference. The BD-HydNSE framework evaluates hydrological simulations using correlation, standard deviation, centered root mean-square difference, percent bias, and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency. The BD-HydKGE framework evaluates hydrological simulations using correlation, standard deviation, centered root mean-square difference, percent bias, and Kling-Gupta efficiency. The frameworks extend the Taylor Diagram ( Taylor (2001) <doi:10.1029/2000JD900719> ) by introducing an orthogonal axis for bias and representing selected performance metrics as surfaces in the resulting 3D space. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency was introduced by Nash and Sutcliffe (1970) <doi:10.1016/0022-1694(70)90255-6>, and Kling-Gupta efficiency was proposed by Gupta et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2009.08.003>. The diagrams are interactive and can optionally be saved as HTML files.
