  Numerous methods exist and were developed for global radiation forecasting.
The two most popular types are the numerical weather predictions (NWP) and the
predictions using stochastic approaches. We propose to compute a parameter
noted constructed in part from the mutual information which is a quantity that
measures the mutual dependence of two variables. Both of these are calculated
with the objective to establish the more relevant method between NWP and
stochastic models concerning the current problem.
