Obtain synthetic Daily Weather Types (DWTs) timeseries
inputs required:

Historical AWT and IWT
Synthetic timeseries of AWT and IWT
in this notebook:
Fit the ALR model of DWT based on seasonality, AWT and IWT timeseries
Generate n simulations of 1000 years of DWTs timeseries
Workflow:
Simulating sequencing and persistence of synthetic DWTs is accomplished with an autoregressive logistic model (ALR). ALR models are simultaneously able to account for covariates varying at different timescales as well as the autocorrelation of those covariates at different orders (Guanche et al., 2013; Antolinez et al., 2015). In this sense, the AWT, seasonality, IWT, as well as the ordering (transitions between DWTs) and duration (persistence within a DWT) can all be accounted for within a single framework to make a categorical decision of what the weather pattern should be on any given day. Mathematically, the model is represented as:
Prob\((Y_t=i|Y_{t-1},...,Y_{t-e},X_t)\) =
\(= {{\exp{\large (}\beta_{0,i} + \beta_{1,i}\cos \omega t + \beta_{2,i}\sin \omega t + \sum\limits_{j=1}^{3}\beta_{j,i}^{awt} APC_j(t) + \sum\limits_{j=1}^{2}\beta_{j,i}^{iwt} IPC_j(t) + \sum\limits_{j=1}^e Y_{t-j\gamma j,i}{\large )}} \over {\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n_{DWT}} \exp{\large (}\beta_{0,k} + \beta_{1,k}\cos \omega t + \beta_{2,k}\sin \omega t + \sum\limits_{j=1}^{3}\beta_{j,k}^{awt} APC_j(t) + \sum\limits_{j=1}^{2}\beta_{j,k}^{iwt} IPC_j(t) + \sum\limits_{j=1}^e Y_{t-j\gamma j,k}{\large )}}}\);
\(\forall i = 1,...,n_{ss}\)
where \(\beta_{1,i}\) and \(\beta_{2,i}\) covariates account for the seasonal probabilites of each DWT. Covariates \(\beta_{j,k}^{awt} APC_j(t)\) account for each weather type’s probability associated with the leading three principle components used to create the AWTs, covariates \(\beta_{j,k}^{iwt} IPC_j(t)\) account for the leading two principle components of the MJO, and \(Y_{t-j}\) represents the DWT of the previous j-states, and \(\beta_{j,i}\) is the parameter associated with the previous j-state, and the order e corresponds to the number of previous states that influence the actual DWT. Each of these covariates was found to be statistically significant by the likelihood ratio (Guanche et al. 2014), where inclusion of a covariate required an improvement in prediction beyond a penalty associated with the added degrees of freedom. An iterative method began with the best univariate model (seasonality) and added each covariate in a pair-wise fashion to determine the next best model (seasonality + \(APC_1\)), continuing this process until all covariates were added.
The model performance is evaluated at the end of the notebook by means of comparison historical and simulated probabilities of occurrence of the 42 DWTs during a perpetual year, the transition probabilities between DWTs and finally seasonal and conditional probabilities of occurrance of DWT to AWT and IWT.
