[HSPEXP+] In all calculations, HSPEXP+ should account for missing observations about basins HOT 6 CLOSED

Tim, could you please try adding analysis dates in the EXS file and let me know if that solves the problem?

Thanks

Here is my current, unedited, exactly as WinHSPF 3.1 made it '03060101-RCH7.exs' file.

03060101-RCH7.zip

I see I could adjust the dates in line 3, however, that is missing the point. The computer should do things for me and if it can't should error - not present and use incorrect calculations. Either WinHSPF should create a better '*.exs' file or HSPEXP+ should uniformly adjust start and end dates.

My feature request would be from most desirable to least:

1. HSPEXP+ would correctly handle all missing values in the observation record for all calculations.
2. HSPEXP+ would adjust analysis start and end dates to match the observed record for all calculations. If there are missing observed values in the analysis period HSPEXP would warn and/or error.
3. WinHSPF would adjust calibration start and end dates to match the observed record when building the *.exs file.
4. Whether 3 is implemented or not, at a minimum HSPEXP+ should warn or error if there are missing values in the observed data set. This is a minimum I think because right now, incorrect statistics are reported and used for development of advice.

I agree with you Tim. I made changes to the code and implemented your most desirable option. I will try and make an executable and post it.

Wow! That is great! Thanks!

There was still an issue in limiting the expert calculation when observed data ended before the simulated data. I fixed that today and it will be available in the next version.

I will keep this issue open, in case the results do not come out as expected.

The number of years calculated for expert statistics rounded to an integer. This skewed calculations for very short calibration period. This issue has been fixed for future releases.
