The Ledger

Forecasts you can check

My forecasts on Ghana, with the odds, the date and the source that will settle each one. When a forecast resolves, it gets a score. The misses stay up next to the hits.

How scoring works

Each forecast is a yes-or-no question with a probability: how likely I think the answer is yes. A forecast at 70% should come true about 7 times in 10.

When it resolves, it gets a Brier score: (probability − outcome)², where the outcome is 1 if it happened and 0 if it didn't. A perfect call scores 0. Saying 50% every time scores 0.25. The worst possible score is 1.

The running score is the average across every resolved forecast. Lower is better. Forecasts are never edited after they go up. A forecast marked void could not be settled, so it gets no score.
