abstract: Qualitative methods for the validation of dynamic models. It contains (i)
  an orthogonal set of deviance measures for absolute, relative and ordinal scale
  and (ii) approaches accounting for time shifts. The first approach transforms time
  to take time delays and speed differences into account. The second divides the time
  series into interval units according to their main features and finds the longest
  common subsequence (LCS) using a dynamic programming algorithm.
