Table 6. Nondegraded and degraded measures of agreement associated with LAD and LSD regression models. Column headings indicate the seasonal total of NS (named storms), H (hurricane days), IH* (intense of major hurricane), IHD* (intense hurricane days), HDP* (hurricane destruction potential), and NTC* (net tropical cyclone activity ). Note that the data with asterisks are bias corrected following the analysis of Landsea (1993).
