A proper scoring rule is
For the binary case, suppose a forecaster believes the outcome will occur with probability <math>p</math> and reports belief <math>b</math>, which will be scored by the rule <math>f</math>. We call <math>f</math> proper if <math>E[f(b, x)]</math> is maximized when <math>b = p</math>. We call <math>f</math> strictly proper if <math>f</math> is proper and <math>E[f(b, x)]</math> is maximized only for <math>b = p</math>.
