Reliability Diagrams for Multicategory Probabilistic Forecasts
The most common method of verifying multicategory probabilistic forecasts such as are used in probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasting is through the use of the ranked probability score. This single number description of forecast accuracy can never capture the multidimensional nature of forecast quality and does not inform the forecaster about the sources of forecast deficiencies. A...
متن کاملSerial Correlation and the Combination of Forecasts
It is shown that regression-based methods of forecast combination lead to serially correlated combined prediction errors. The form of the serial correlation is characterized, and specification, estimation, and prediction are treated. A fully optimal combined predictor, which exploits the serial correlation, is developed and compared with existing regression-based methods in a numerical example,...
متن کاملVerification tools for probabilistic forecasts of continuous hydrological variables
In the present paper we describe some methods for verifying and evaluating probabilistic forecasts of hydrological variables. We propose an extension to continuous-valued variables of a verification method originated in the meteorological literature for the analysis of binary variables, and based on the use of a suitable cost-loss function to evaluate the quality of the forecasts. We find that ...
متن کاملNon-parametric regression for binary dependent variables
Finite-sample properties of non-parametric regression for binary dependent variables are analyzed. Non parametric regression is generally considered as highly variable in small samples when the number of regressors is large. In binary choice models, however, it may be more reliable since its variance is bounded. The precision in estimating conditional means as well as marginal effects is invest...
متن کاملA Systematic Review of Statistical Methods Used to Test for Reliability of Medical Instruments Measuring Continuous Variables
Objective(s): Reliability measures precision or the extent to which test results can be replicated. This is the first ever systematic review to identify statistical methods used to measure reliability of equipment measuring continuous variables. This studyalso aims to highlight the inappropriate statistical method used in the reliability analysis and its implication in the medical practice. ...
