摘要
Selected samples of probability of precipitation (PoP) forecasts and the matching binary observations were evaluated to determine the use of statistical models for forecast verification. A linear regression model was fitted to the conditional distributions of the observations given the forecasts and a beta distribution was fitted to the frequencies of use of the allowable probabilities. These two models described the joint distribution of the forecasts and observations and reduced a 21-dimensional verification problem to 4 dimensions. The selected PoP forecasts was compared across forecast type, location and lead time in terms of the four parameters.
