FA-13961 / Numerical aggregation / Open access
Binary calibration decomposition: Calibration components give every forecast bin equal weight. · case 01
The reduction disagrees with its explicit aggregation oracle.
ROOT CAUSE
Calibration components give every forecast bin equal weight.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Preserve the binary calibration decomposition contract at the identified reduction decision.
Unsuccessful approach: Dividing by bin count instead of observation count does not normalize frequency mass.
Case contract
Each [forecast numerator, positive denominator, positive outcome count, negative outcome count] describes binary observations with forecast in [0,1]. Merge identical rational forecasts. Return exact [reliability,resolution,uncertainty] Brier decomposition components. Empty total returns None; zero-size groups contribute nothing.
Why this case matters
Exact bounded examples isolate a reduction defect without floating-point or external-service effects.

Verification & scope
Small offline integer/rational inputs only; no performance, statistical inference, or production-library conformance claim. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
