Four Measures of Estimation Error


Four pairs of histograms show how often each of the 16 regression models have the best errors at each pressure level, where best is judged in four different ways:

Error Measure

25 dbar intervals

100 dbar intervals

Maximum

25-400 dbar 100-1600 dbar

Median

25-400 dbar 100-1600 dbar

Third Quartile

25-400 dbar 100-1600 dbar

Mean Square Error

25-400 dbar 100-1600 dbar


Contour plots of the root-mean-square difference of the estimates from the verification data at 100 dbar intervals (25 dbar intervals in the upper ocean) give a spatial overview of their performance.
