Figure 6‐11. Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE) statistical performance metric for <strong>the</strong><br />

five LRT models <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> ETEX tracer field experiment (pgm ‐3 ).<br />

The Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (PCC or R) ranges between ‐1.0 <strong>and</strong> +1.0, a model that has<br />

a perfect correlation with <strong>the</strong> observations would have a PCC value <strong>of</strong> 1.0. The PCC values for<br />

<strong>the</strong> five LRT models are shown in Figure 6‐12. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> models have positive PCCs so none are<br />

negatively correlated with <strong>the</strong> observe data.<br />

The Fractional Bias (FB) is a measure <strong>of</strong> bias in <strong>the</strong> deviations between <strong>the</strong> predicted <strong>and</strong><br />

observed paired tracer concentrations <strong>and</strong> ranges from ‐2.0 to +2.0 with a perfect model<br />
