Abstract
A robust, simple, application-specific way to evaluate data models and forecasts is provided for evaluating whether a forecast is trustworthy. An approach for formulating a single, summary indication of data/model/forecast quality relevant for the task at hand is described. This approach includes generating a forecast model from collected data, combining multiple model-quality parameters based on the model, computing an indication based on the combination of parameters, and evaluating the model and forecast quality based on the indication. This indication, in the form of a Model Quality Index, can also be used to compare different types of models produced by different types of analysis approaches.
