Score card provides a quick visual overview over the performance of the CY43r1 scores compared to CY41r2. It is a simplified summary of verify error plots of various domains, scores, parameters etc.
Each error plot is converted into a sequence of symbols (e.g. ) where each symbol indicates for given time step whether or not the CY43r1 is significantly better or worse than the CY41r2.
