40 Supplementary Table 23 Performance of the CAPE-HLCY-VWSH model based on the Pearson correlation coefficient values between the observed number of tornadoes and the posterior mean predictions per grid cell. The predictive confirmation was based on the separation of the 30-yr dataset into two subsets; the calibration ( ) and predictive confirmation ( ) datasets. The former one was used to obtain parameter estimates through Bayesian updating and the derived model predictive posteriors were then tested independently against the latter dataset.
