Note
A regular plural that carries both meanings of the singular. In everyday prose it counts separate forecasts, statements of what someone expects to happen, such as an economist's or a pundit's. In statistics it names probability estimates produced by a method, usually as a set rather than one at a time. Context tells you which kind is meant: a list of claims, or a batch of calculated figures.
