Updates on the 2014 "extreme forecast" situation.

 

The table has been copied from its original (August) location and updated for September and October.

 

An extreme forecast was defined as one of these two situations:

 

(.A.) the anomaly was greater than or equal to any forecast (in the same sign direction in all cases) or

(.B.) where there was one forecast greater, and if so, whether that one was closest or not.

 

... Names are somewhat abbreviated, hope you can recognize the culprits. Late penalties could influence results of actual high score as opposed to closest forecast, but after revision of the larger penalties March to May, that was no longer the case.

Two cases where second most extreme forecast of only two cases was closest:

 

May __________ PHX ___________ +2.4 ____________ +2.6 Mallow ______________ +2.5

SD ________ B-2

Mar __________ ORD ___________ --6.2 ____________ --7.2 swflow ____________ --6.4 Roger _______ B-2

 

Summing up, 46 cases in all (out of 90 in the first ten months). 30 were of "A" type and 14 plus the additional 2 were of "B" type. Of those, the most extreme forecast won the month in 40 of 46 cases (all of the As and 10/16 of the Bs) and there was one tie among the winning B cases, otherwise six went to the second most extreme forecast which was seldom far from the actual with one exception (see ORD for May).

 

This seems quite anomalous compared to previous years when these results might happen once or twice a season.

 

Table leaders for these "extreme forecasts" (the two B-2 cases are counted as a B win plus a B loss, no B loss high score) ... the forecaster record counts all types of wins vs the one type of loss (which basically amounts to going too extreme against the entire field). Note that "A" wins are automatic, forecaster not as extreme as actual anomaly.

 

* share a win under "B" win and "B loss high score"

 

FORECASTER _________ "A" (win) ___ "B" (win) ___ "B" (loss) ____ high score vs "B" loss, counts as win
