              x-axis is the measured and y-axis is the reference. Plus represents pairs of
              measured and reference.

                    The sector-wise frequency of the measured is very similar to

                    the long-term reference.
              Table 7-9 shows the calculations of this method.

              Matrix Method
              As the name suggests, this method is applied to a matrix of wind
              speed ranges and direction sectors from the reference time series. An
