PurpleMage (talk) 03:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)The binary decision scoring rule notation of U(x,q) does not lend itself to multiclass scoring. I would like to integrate the notation of binary vs multiclass scoring rules better as the division does not need to be so stark. PurpleMage (talk) 03:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
The introduction to this should explain the usage in terms not just human forecasting, but also in terms of pattern classifier calibration. This article is tricky since p, which is our optimal probability is called the 'forecasters personal probability belief' for forecasting which does not make sense for a machine algorithm that we still desire honesty from.PurpleMage (talk) 05:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Yes! If so, should make comparisons with estimation theory, for example maximum likelihood. Should also include some proofs. Kjetil Halvorsen 05:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjetil1001 (talk • contribs)
I agree. Also, a proof specifically showing that a rule is proper would be a good proof to add. 199.46.199.232 (talk) 01:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Would it be possible to write the lead section of the article in a way that lets it be understood by common human beings (as opposed to mathematicians)? The third phrase alone contains at least three non trivial concepts with which the reader needs to be familiar in order to understand just that one single sentence, not speaking of the rest of the lead. The same sentence in addition (!) mentions that probablities of all possible outcomes need to sum to one. Given that one knows what a proability is, how does mentioning the fact that sum = 1 helps add anything useful to letting the reader understand the subject topic? If one does not know what probabilies are then again how does that help? see what a lead should be. I assert that the lead is impenetrable already to common human beings and after that the reader gets drowned in math without any more addo. As with many other science related articles this article's target audience seems to be mathematicians AFAICS. I assert that that's not the purpose of Wikipedia. Mathematicians have their own publishing universe that serves as their reference. Wikipedia's main target is the general public and therefore the aim should as far as possible (!) be to allow the general public to understand the writing. I am aware that I am criticizing without improving the article. I guess I would if I felt that I am competent. Thanks TomasPospisek (talk) 21:56, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
This term is used in the defintion section without explanation. — Charles Stewart (talk) 13:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
I can't see a video under the link for "Video comparing spherical, quadratic and logarithmic scoring rules" MathieuPutz (talk) 22:12, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
This paragraph should discuss the gif in depth and explain what are the graphs which are visible there. Biggerj1 (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

On the top of this page, it has been suggested to merge this page together with Loss functions for classification, so I want to open a discussion about that.
I personally do not agree with this, as there's plenty of interesting research that has been done on continuous scoring rules (both univariate and multivariate). Until shortly, only CRPS was briefly mentioned as a continuous scoring rule.
In the past week, I added a variety of material on continuous scoring rules to this page, and I plan to summarize a variety of comparison papers, in order to create a full-fletched comparison of scoring rules section, including an expansion of the applications section, since scoring rules are often applied in machine learning applications. In my opinion, this is enough to warrant a separate page. CuriousDataScientist (talk) 13:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
