Abstract
(Free for members, £2 for non-members)
Your uncertainty can be quantified as a probability, but how can we tell whose probabilities are best? We will look at some theory of scoring rules for probabilistic predictions, and their applications in weather forecasting and other areas. And then we will measure your knowledge about your ignorance.
