Add Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM) bias correction method  #48

Description

@dgergel

The QDM bias correction method, developed by Alex Cannon (see Cannon et al 2015) preserves relative changes in quantiles by applying simulated relative changes in quantiles on top of observed historical series. It has three basic steps:

  1. detrend future model outputs by quantile
  2. bias correct to obs by quantile mapping
  3. superimpose model-projected relative changes in quantiles on bias corrected model output

It is also the first step in the Multivariate Bias Correction (MBC) methods (e.g. MBCp, MBCr and MBCn).
