[Met_help] Mode Analysis Question

[Craig, Robert J Civ USAF AFWA 16 WS/WXN]

We are using mode to get a feel for what errors we get in forecast cloud object positioning compared to ground truth position.  Running mode analysis we get a average centroid x and y displacements.  I am assuming that this is the average of all objects.  If this is true then we will tend to get noisy results since some matched objects aren't matched well (low interest) compared to others.  Is there a way to filter the matched objects x and y displacements so that the average is only for the better object matches?
