\title{Creation of the InputsCrit object required to the ErrorCrit functions}


\usage{
CreateInputsCrit(FUN_CRIT, InputsModel, RunOptions, Qobs, BoolCrit = NULL,
  transfo = "", Ind_zeroes = NULL, epsilon = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
}


\arguments{
\item{FUN_CRIT}{[function] error criterion function (e.g. ErrorCrit_RMSE, ErrorCrit_NSE)}

\item{InputsModel}{[object of class \emph{InputsModel}] see \code{\link{CreateInputsModel}} for details}

\item{RunOptions}{[object of class \emph{RunOptions}] see \code{\link{CreateRunOptions}} for details}

\item{Qobs}{[numeric] series of observed discharges [mm/time step]}

\item{BoolCrit}{(optional) [boolean] boolean giving the time steps to consider in the computation (all time steps are consider by default)}

\item{transfo}{(optional) [character] name of the transformation (e.g. \code{""}, \code{"sqrt"}, \code{"log"}, \code{"inv"}, \code{"sort"})}

\item{Ind_zeroes}{(optional) [numeric] indices of the time steps where zeroes are observed}

\item{epsilon}{(optional) [numeric] epsilon to add to all Qobs and Qsim if \emph{$Ind_zeroes} is not empty}

\item{verbose}{(optional) [boolean] boolean indicating if the function is run in verbose mode or not, default = \code{TRUE}}
}


\value{
[list] object of class \emph{InputsCrit} containing the data required to evaluate the model outputs; it can include the following:
         \tabular{ll}{
         \emph{$BoolCrit  }  \tab   [boolean] boolean giving the time steps considered in the computation \cr
         \emph{$Qobs      }  \tab   [numeric] series of observed discharges [mm/time step] \cr
         \emph{$transfo   }  \tab   [character] name of the transformation (e.g. "", "sqrt", "log", "inv", "sort") \cr
         \emph{$Ind_zeroes}  \tab   [numeric] indices of the time steps where zeroes are observed \cr
         \emph{$epsilon   }  \tab   [numeric] epsilon to add to all Qobs and Qsim if \emph{$Ind_zeroes} is not empty \cr
         }
}


\description{
Creation of the \emph{InputsCrit} object required to the \code{ErrorCrit*} functions.
}


\details{
Users wanting to use \code{FUN_CRIT} functions that are not included in 
the package must create their own InputsCrit object accordingly. \cr
We do not advise computing KGE or KGE' with log-transformation as it might be wrongly influenced by discharge values close to 0 or 1 and it is dependent on the discharge unit. See Santos et al. (in review) for more details and alternative solutions (see the reference below).
