This article studies the probabilities of the occurrence of multi-word (m-word) phrases (m ؍ 2,3,. . .) in relation to the probabilities of occurrence of the single words. It is well known that, in the latter case, the law of Zipf is valid (i.e., a power law). We prove that in the case of m-word p
## Abstract Four recent papers have investigated the effects of ensemble size on the Brier score (BS) and discrete ranked probability score (RPS) attained by ensemble‐based probabilistic forecasts. The connections between these papers are described and their results are generalized. In particular,
