Nonlinear model evaluation: $\iota$ shadowing, probabilistic prediction and weather forecasting

Physical processes are often modelled using nonlinear dynamical systems. If such models are relevant then they should be capable of demonstrating behaviour observed in the physical process. In this thesis a new measure of model optimality is introduced: the distribution of $\iota$ shadowing times d...
