Table 1.

Summaries of model performance for predictions of incidence in individual weeks. The “All Weeks” group summarizes log scores for all combinations of prediction horizon and target week in the test period; the “High Incidence” group summarizes log scores for predictions of indience in weeks where the observed incidence was at least two thirds of the maximum weekly incidence in the test period.

The model in bold font had the highest mean log score within each combination of disease and weeks subset. The model in italicized and underlined font had the lowest minimum log score within each combination of disease and weeks subset. In some cases, the same model had both the highest average log score and the lowest worst-case log score.
