Fig. 5: Model performance in Taylor diagrams.
From: Benchmarking shoreline prediction models over multi-decadal timescales
a–i Taylor diagram for different transects and timescales. The diagrams show the normalized standard deviation (radial - x and y-axis), correlation coefficient (curved axes along the circumference of the circle), and normalized centered root mean square error (CRMSE, concentric dashed arcs). Stars, circles, and squares represent HM, DDM, and ensemble mean respectively. Solid and hollow markers distinguish models submitted before (blind) and after (non-blind) ShoreShop2.0, respectively. The black triangle (Observed) shows the observed data in a Taylor diagram with zero error. The model performance is indicated by the distance of scatter points of model predictions to the observed. The red dashed arc indicates the normalized RMSE of SDS (8.9 m) with respect to the observed shoreline standard deviation (STD) for that time period. The legends are sorted based on the average loss \(\bar{{{\mathcal{L}}}}\) (displayed within the bracket) for all transects and timescales where predictions are available. The superscript * after a model name indicates non-blind models submitted after ShoreShop2.0. The Taylor diagrams and model ranking for each timescale can be found on (https://github.com/ShoreShop/ShoreModel_Benchmark).
