I am working on this dataset in my master thesis and it would be great to perform an comparable analysis to the one published by Dr. Andrew Arai on the four best contributions (<a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/c/second-annual-data-science-bowl/discussion/19839\">https://www.kaggle.com/c/second-annual-data-science-bowl/discussion/19839</a>). The only available form of evaluation right now appears to be the CRPS on the website which seems to be hugely dependent on the chosen standard deviation of the CDF. \nAvailability of the test set volumes on the other hand would enable a better analysis and evaluation of my models. </p>\n\n<p>Thanks a lot!</p>",
