= PDAFomi_set_inno_omit_ivar =

This page documents the routine `PDAFomi_set_inno_omit_ivar` of PDAF. The routine was introduced by PDAF version 2.3.1.

The routine sets `thisobs%inno_omit_ivar`. It avoids to directly initialize elements of the data type `thisobs` in the code, which can be problematic in some programming languages.

For details on `thisobs%inno_omit_ivar` see the [wiki:PDAFomi_additional_functionality#Omittingobservationsthatarepotentialoutliers description on omitting observations that are potential outliers].


The interface is:
{{{
  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_inno_omit_ivar(thisobs, inno_omit_ivar)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs    ! Observation type
    REAL, INTENT(in) :: inno_omit_ivar       ! Inverse variance set for omitted observations 
                                             !   this should be much smaller that the actual inverse observation error variance
}}}

'''Note: '''
 * When using Fortran, one can also initialize `thisobs%inno_omit_ivar` directly
