CSEP Version 11.7.0
Version 11.7.0 - July 5, 2011
Generic Features for the CSEP Testing Center:
David Rhoades, GNS Science, Lower Hutt, New Zealand, introduced new statistical tests to the CSEP testing framework. New evaluation tests are:
- The classical paired t-test (T-Test)
- The Wilcoxon signed-rank test (W-Test)
These tests should be applied to rate-based forecasts only, and require at least two forecasts for the evaluation.
As of CSEP V11.7.0, we use KVM Virtualization to deploy and distribute CSEP software to the established CSEP Testing Centers.
- For detailed instructions on how to enable KVM virtualization on the server and to install available CSEP images, please refer to the http://northridge.usc.edu/trac/csep/wiki/SetUpTestingCenterKVM documentation.
- Please refer to http://cseptesting.org/downloads/vms for available VM images.
