Claim One:
1. An apparatus for generating a trust factor indicator based on historical performance, wherein the apparatus comprises a computer system and the computer system comprises: a processor; and a memory, coupled to the processor, that includes code executable by the processor to configure the computer system into a machine for: determining an objective historically based prediction accuracy measure, wherein the prediction accuracy measure represents a relationship between a predicted event outcome and an actual event outcome; determining an objective historically based prediction bias measure, wherein the prediction bias measure represents a positive or negative difference between the predicted event outcome and the actual event outcome; normalizing each of the accuracy measure and bias measure to generate respective normalized accuracy measure and normalized bias measure; combining the normalized accuracy measure and normalized bias measure to generate a trust factor indicator; determining a quantified trustworthiness of forecast data based on the trust factor indicator; and providing the quantified trustworthiness for display by a computer system.
