Improving probabilistic infectious disease forecasting through coherence
Table 2
Percent of forecasts improved over original forecast distribution for the four coherence methods described, in addition to the baseline bottom up model under both single-bin and multi-bin skill.
We omit the independent forecasts since they are the reference model for percentage of forecasts improved. Notice that WOLS unordered showed the greatest improvement under single-bin scoring but showed the least improvement under multi-bin scoring. This demonstrates that the scoring rule used influences the performance of the coherence methods.
