Table 4.

Majority rule based consensus models, meant to resolve uncertainty between the forecasts and provide a middle scenario.

Majority Rule Seasonal Majority Rule
Counties Predicted 383 370
County Population at Risk 93,195,970 87,632,865
Mean Outbreak Size 60,259,904 24,267,441
Median Outbreak Size 60,940,111 24,407,885

The main majority rule model combines the Carlson, Messina, and Samy forecasts; the seasonal majority rule model assigns monthly suitability values to that forecast, based on the minimum temperature 97.5% Mordecai model.
