Line 11:
Several CDF can be either combined horizontally or vertically. A horizontal combination of several CDF is equal to a combination of the quantiles of the CDF. A vertical combination of the CDF is equal to a mixture distribution that combines the cumulative densities of the individual forecasts.
When combining forecasts based on their PDF, then only a vertical combination is sensible. When combining using the mean, then it does not matter whether we combine functions based on their PDF or CDF, as the sum of integrals is the same as the integral of a sum of two distributions. For combinations based e.g. on the median of the cumulative or non-cumulative density at a given point, differences may occur (although these will typically not be very large).

Empirically, it is very difficult to improve on unweighted ensembles by estimating weights for individual forecasters from the data<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169207016000327</ref>.
