2 Forecast Quality Index useful for ensembles uses surrogate fields accounts for close forecasts One number
3 Outline Paper overview universal image quality index (UIQI) and modified UIQI components of forecast quality index (FQI) Geometric examples (from Sukanta and Efi) Perturbed fake examples (also from S and E) Cases from SPC Spring 2005 surrogates traditional skill scores expert rankings
4 Paper overview forecast ensembles filter out similar members, and keep just enough to characterize the probability structure of forecast find best member and propagate it forward single measure (like RMSE and EqTh) but has important additional information
5 Paper overview - UIQI R1 and R2 are fields being compared 3 terms: covariance means standard deviations 3 properties: correlation brightness (bias) distortion (variability) UIQI ( R, R ) = 1 2! 2µ µ 2!! " "!! µ + µ! +! R, R R R R R R R R R R R
6 Paper overview UIQI, Hausdorff UIQI entirely amplitude-based measure not efficient at telling difference between displaced patterns and amplitude error Distance-based measures Hausdorff distance
7 Paper Overview - Hausdorff ( ) h( A, B) = max min a " b a! A b! B A h(a,b) forward distance B
8 Paper Overview - Hausdorff ( ) h( B, A) = max min a " b b! B a! A A h(b,a) backward distance B
9 Paper Overview - Hausdorff ( ( ) ( )) H ( A, B) = max h A, B, h B, A A h(b,a) backward distance h(a,b) forward distance B
10 Paper Overview - Hausdorff ( ( ) ( )) H ( A, B) = max h A, B, h B, A A H(A,B) B
11 Paper Overview partial Hausdorff ( ) h( A, B) = k th percentile min a " b a! A b! B A h(a,b)? B
12 Paper overview - Hausdorff ( ) h( A, B) = max min a " b a! A b! B a1 h(a,b) forward distance A b1 B a2 a3 b2
