Notes: In calculating overall score, and for non-anomaly variables (all but twsa and sma), rmse score contributes double in comparison with all other scores. For the case of anomaly variables, the Bias, BiasScore and TaylorScore are calculated over the standard deviations of the variables, and not directly over the anomalies, as in sqrt(anomaly^2).
