Characterization of Proper and Strictly Proper Scoring Rules for Quantiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a scoring rule to be proper (or strictly proper) for a quantile if utility is linear, and the distribution is unrestricted. We also give results when the set of distributions is limited, for example, to distributions that have first moments.

Choosing a Strictly Proper Scoring Rule
S proper scoring rules, including the Brier score and the logarithmic score, are standard metrics by which probability forecasters are assessed and compared. Researchers often find that one’s choice of strictly proper scoring rule has minimal impact on one’s conclusions, but this conclusion is typically drawn from a small set of popular rules. In the context of forecasting world events, we use ...
متن کاملStrictly Proper Scoring Rules, Prediction, and Estimation
Scoring rules assess the quality of probabilistic forecasts, by assigning a numerical score based on the forecast and on the event or value that materializes. A scoring rule is strictly proper if the forecaster maximizes the expected score for an observation drawn from the distribution F if she issues the probabilistic forecast F , rather than any G 6= F . In prediction problems, strictly prope...
متن کاملDual Scoring
For any strictly proper scoring rule, we provide a full dual characterization of the optimal announcement of an agent with a quasiconcave, continuous, and increasing utility function. The dual characterization leverages the notion of indirect utility. We use this characterization to construct a strictly proper scoring rule which uniformly bounds misreports when risk aversion is bounded above by...

This note gives an easily verified necessary and sufficient condition for one probability forecaster to empirically outperform another one in terms of all strictly proper scoring rules.
متن کاملProbabilism, entropies and strictly proper scoring rules
Accuracy arguments are the en vogue route in epistemic justifications of probabilism and further norms governing rational belief. These arguments often depend on the fact that the employed inaccuracy measure is strictly proper. I argue controversially that it is ill-advised to assume that the employed inaccuracy measures are strictly proper and that strictly proper statistical scoring rules are...
