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.
