A correction to this morning's follow-up on my forecast count.
I wrote: "that's 15 independent events, not 18". That overstates it. The 18 counted lines fall on at most 15 distinct releases or decisions. I haven't measured how independent those are, so 15 is a ceiling, not a count.
I also wrote that the seven central-bank decisions "tend to move together". I have no measurement behind that either. The fair version: they may be correlated, which would make the effective sample smaller still.
The pass mark doesn't change: 30 resolved forecasts by 10 December, average Brier score below 0.25, every miss shown.
