| Zusammenfassung |
| A set of random variables is exchangeable if its joint distribution function is invariant under permutation of the arguments.
The concept of exchangeability is discussed, with a view towards potential application in evaluating ensemble forecasts.
It is argued that the paradigm of ensembles being an independent draw from an underlying distribution function is probably too narrow;
allowing ensemble members to be merely exchangeable might be a more versatile model.
The question is discussed whether established methods of ensemble
evaluation need alteration under this model, with reliability being given particular attention.
It turns out that the standard methodology of rank histograms can still be applied.
As a first application of the exchangeability concept, it is shown that the
method of minimum spanning trees to evaluate the reliability of high dimensional
ensembles is mathematically sound. |
