  • Bayesian Cue Integration
    • In ensemble weather forecasting it is Bayesian model averaging weighted by historical performance.

      This sourceApplies Bayesian model averaging, weighting ensemble members by performance, to produce calibrated probabilistic forecasts.

      Borderline supportVerified against the publisher's abstract

      The abstract states BMA combines ensemble forecasts into a weighted average whose weights reflect each model's relative contribution to predictive skill over the training period.

      “This paper proposes a statistical method for postprocessing ensembles based on Bayesian model averaging (BMA) ... The BMA predictive probability density function (PDF) of any quantity of interest is a weighted average of PDFs centered on the individual bias-corrected forecasts, where the weights are equal to posterior probabilities of the models generating the forecasts and reflect the models' relative contributions …”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 borderline. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
