Brier Score

Trading Term

The Brier score measures the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts as the mean squared difference between the forecast probability and the outcome coded as one or zero. Lower values indicate better performance, with a perfect forecast scoring zero and a forecast that always says 50% scoring 0.25. Because prediction market prices are already expressed as probabilities, Brier scores allow direct comparison between market-implied odds and the probabilities produced by ensemble weather models or other forecasting systems.
