Forecast Verification
Welcome to the modules on forecast verification. The modules are designed both for users of verification results, who wish to understand what the results really mean, and those who wish to dabble in verification methodology themselves.
There are 4 modules in this course. The introductory module covers general issues about reasons for verifying, and the different types of forecast and observation data used in verification. The other modules are organized by type of forecast. If you are new to the subject of verification, then it is highly recommended that you complete the introductory module, which will help put the other modules into better perspective. If, on the other hand, you already know what a "deterministic forecast of a continuous variable", or a "probability forecast of a categorical variable" is, then feel free to skip the generalities of the introduction and go directly to the modules on the various forecast types.
