Calibration and validation objective functions (OFs). Vobs and Vsim are the observed and simulated runoff volume values, respectively; QMXobs and QMXsim are the observed and simulated peak discharge values, respectively; Qpred and Qsim are the simulated and observed discharge values, respectively. denotes time increment.
