 WARNING: The normal distribution is probably a good fit for temperature and pressure, and possibly a not horrible fit for winds. However, the normal approximation will not work on most precipitation forecasts and may fail for many other atmospheric variables.

 The relative position (RELP) is a count of the number of times each ensemble member is closest to the observation. For stochastic or randomly derived ensembles, this statistic is meaningless. For specified ensemble members, however, it can assist users in determining if any ensemble member is performing consistently better or worse than the others.
 
-The ranked probability score (RPS) is included in the Ranked Probability Score (RPS) line type. It is the mean of the Brier scores computed from ensemble probabilities derived for each probability category threshold (prob_cat_thresh) specified in the configuration file. The continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) is the average the distance between the forecast (ensemble) cumulative distribution function and the observation cumulative distribution function. It is an analog of the Brier score, but for continuous forecast and observation fields. The CRPS statistic is computed using two methods: assuming a normal distribution defined by the ensemble mean and spread (:ref:`Gneiting et al., 2004 <Gneiting-2004>`) and using the empirical ensemble distribution (:ref:`Hersbach, 2000 <Hersbach-2000>`). The CRPS statistic is included in the Ensemble Continuous Statistics (ECNT) line type, along with other statistics quantifying the ensemble spread and ensemble mean skill.

The CRPS (and CRPS FAIR) statistic is included in the Ensemble Continuous Statistics (ECNT) line type, along with other statistics quantifying the ensemble spread and ensemble mean skill.
 
 The Ensemble-Stat tool can derive ensemble relative frequencies and verify them as probability forecasts all in the same run. Note however that these simple ensemble relative frequencies are not actually calibrated probability forecasts. If probabilistic line types are requested (output_flag), this logic is applied to each pair of fields listed in the forecast (fcst) and observation (obs) dictionaries of the configuration file. Each probability category threshold (prob_cat_thresh) listed for the forecast field is applied to the input ensemble members to derive a relative frequency forecast. The probability category threshold (prob_cat_thresh) parsed from the corresponding observation entry is applied to the (gridded or point) observations to determine whether or not the event actually occurred. The paired ensemble relative freqencies and observation events are used to populate an Nx2 probabilistic contingency table. The dimension of that table is determined by the probability PCT threshold (prob_pct_thresh) configuration file option parsed from the forecast dictionary. All probabilistic output types requested are derived from the this Nx2 table and written to the ascii output files. Note that the FCST_VAR name header column is automatically reset as "PROB({FCST_VAR}{THRESH})" where {FCST_VAR} is the current field being evaluated and {THRESH} is the threshold that was applied.
