  3. Verifying Spatial Forecasts

  4. Verifying Extreme Forecasts • What are extremes? • Events large in magnitude • Events rare in occurrence • Traditional skill scores become unstable as the probability of the event becomes increasingly small. • Extreme value statistics. Different distributions are more appropriate for use with extreme events.

  5. Confidence Intervals • Skill scores are statistics and as such it is reasonable to ask for confidence intervals. • Some techniques for estimating confidence intervals • Parametric assumptions and inference • Bootstrapping (re-sampling original data) • Use of holdout data in creating model • Difficulties include • Dependent observations • Huge numbers of observation – everything is significant • Small number of data
