• Description:
  "Improvements in central guidance have improved public forecasts substantially, sometimes even dramatically. Figure 1 shows an example from the record. Improvements in central guidance, in turn, have, and still do, depend on a myriad of factors, one of which is faster computation. All of the factors, including faster computation, are essential to improved guidance"--Page 1.
