4、ribed is a standardized procedure for comparing predicted and observed sky-wave signal intensities at frequencies between 2 and 30 MHz. Such comparisons provide information on the accuracy of prediction methods and on desirable improvements to them. It is important that administrations and organizat

5、ions keep the 1TU-R informed on the current status of their comparisons. Some sample results of comparisons are contained in this Recommendation. 2 General In order to obtain comparable results, the same data set and the same procedure should be applied when making comparisons between predicted and

6、observed signal intensities. The most recent data base should be used. This is an ITU-R-agreed data set and provides a wide range of observations with respect to distance, month, sunspot number, frequency and geographical zone. The output from the comparisons should be: - count, - mean difference (d

7、B), - standard deviation (dB). “Count” indicates the number of samples used in the comparisons. The “mean difference” provides a measure of the deviation between predicted and observed monthly median signal intensities. The most important parameter for assessing the accuracy of the monthly median si

TU-R P.1148-1 In order to find systematic deviations (e.g. as a

10、function of distance or geographical zone) of a particular prediction method, comparisons should be made for a variety of different subsets or combinations of subsets of data. The purpose of the detailed subsets of comparisons is to give hints for the detection of systematic weaknesses of the method

11、 under consideration. The choice of a certain prediction method should not be based on favourable results obtained for a particular subset (e.g. distance range). 3 Different comparisons, .e. the calculation of mean difference and standard deviation (see Annex 2), should be made for the following par

15、5 dB are generated (e.g. -2.5 to 2.5 dB, 2.6 to 7.5 dB, 7.6 to 12.5 dB .) in the range -32.5 dB to +37.5 dB. Each subset listed in 5 3 should be accompanied by a histogram. 4.4 Measures to be taken if a prediction does not give the median signal intensity for all days of the month In some cases wher

16、e predictions give the median signal intensity only for a certain “fraction of days” per month (expressed as a percentage (see 4.1 c), the measured and predicted values cannot be compared directly. Only when the fraction of days is at least 99% are the measured and predicted values directly comparab

17、le. In all other cases a conversion procedure must be applied to the measured values. If the fraction of days is, for example, 50%, proper ionospheric reflection occurs on 15 days of the month and the predicted median signal intensity is valid for those I5 days only. The prediction does not give any

18、 information on the signal intensity on the other 15 days of the month. A measured monthly median, however, is derived from 30 daily values (including the 15 days without proper reflection). Consequently, the measured monthly median is likely to be lower than the predicted median. If a data bank con

19、tains all daily values the measured value corresponding to the predicted fraction of days can be derived by determining the median value for the predicted fraction of days. (Note that Data Bank DI does not contain daily values.) The following procedure describes how the measured (30 day) monthly med
