xskillscore.core.resampling.resample_iterations_idx(forecast, iterations, dim='member', dim_max=None, replace=True)

Resample over dim by index iterations times.

Note

This is a much faster way to bootstrap/resample each iteration individually and applying the function to it. This will create a DataArray with dimension iteration of size iterations. When using dask, the number of tasks in resample_iterations() will scale with iterations but constant chunksize, whereas the tasks in resample_iterations_idx() will stay constant with increasing chunksize.

Parameters:

  • forecast (xr.DataArray, xr.Dataset) – Forecast.

  • iterations (int) – Number of resampling iterations.

  • dim (str) – Dimension name to resample over. Defaults to 'member'.

  • replace (bool) – Resampling with or without replacement. Defaults to True.

  • dim_max (int) – Number of item from dim to return.

Returns:

forecast_smp – data resampled along dimension dim with additional dim='iteration'.

Return type:

xr.DataArray, xr.Dataset

Examples

>>> a = xr.DataArray(np.random.rand(1000, 3, 3),
...                  coords=[("time", np.arange(1000)),
...                          ("x", np.arange(3)),
...                          ("y", np.arange(3))])
>>> xs.resample_iterations_idx(a, 500, 'time') 
<xarray.DataArray (time: 1000, x: 3, y: 3, iteration: 500)>
