A Risk Profile for Information Fusion Algorithms

open access: yesEntropy, 2011
E.T. Jaynes, originator of the maximum entropy interpretation of statistical mechanics, emphasized that there is an inevitable trade-off between the conflicting requirements of robustness and accuracy for any inferencing algorithm.

Compatible weighted proper scoring rules [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrika, 2012
Many proper scoring rules such as the Brier and log scoring rules implicitly reward a probability forecaster relative to a uniform baseline distribution. Recent work has motivated weighted proper scoring rules, which have an additional baseline parameter. To date two families of weighted proper scoring rules have been introduced, the weighted power and

A sequential decomposition of proper scoring rules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
<p>The objective assessment of forecasts plays an integral role in the development of a prediction system. Scoring rules condense all information regarding forecast performance into a single numerical value, providing a convenient framework to objectively rank and compare competing prediction schemes.

Proper Scoring Rules for Evaluating Asymmetry in Density Forecasting [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
This paper proposes a novel asymmetric continuous probabilistic score (ACPS) for evaluating and comparing density forecasts. It extends the proposed score and defines a weighted version, which emphasizes regions of interest, such as the tails or the center of a variable's range.

Probabilistic Predictions with Federated Learning

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Probabilistic predictions with machine learning are important in many applications. These are commonly done with Bayesian learning algorithms. However, Bayesian learning methods are computationally expensive in comparison with non-Bayesian methods ...

Prediction of Extreme Conditional Quantiles of Electricity Demand: An Application Using South African Data

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
It is important to predict extreme electricity demand in power utilities as the uncertainties in the future of electricity demand distribution have to be taken into consideration to achieve the desired goals.

Cooperative virtual power plant formation using scoring rules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are fast emerging as a suitable means of integrating small and distributed energy resources (DERs), like wind and solar, into the electricity supply network (Grid). VPPs are formed via the aggregation of a large number of such

Unified System for Processing Non-Personalized Data

open access: yesОткрытое образование (Москва), 2023
The purpose of the study. The purpose of this article is to study the possibility of creating a unified register of non-personalized data, that is, data that cannot be attributed to a specific subject of personal data.

A construction principle for proper scoring rules [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Series B, 2021
Proper scoring rules enable decision-theoretically principled comparisons of probabilistic forecasts. New scoring rules can be constructed by identifying the predictive distribution with an element of a parametric family and then applying a known scoring rule.
