  References for computing the continuous ranked probabiity score (CRPS): The definition is provided in the paper by Gneiting and Raftery, equation 20: Gneiting and Raftery (2007), JASA, Volume 12, Number 102 If the predictive distribution can be assumed to be normal (which often applies approximately) a simplified formula, which is given directly below equation 20, can be used. Here, only the mean and standard deviation of the predictive distribution are needed which are available from INLA.
  Otherwise, the CRPS can be computed using a Monte Carlo approach based on samples (see inla.posterior sample example) from the predictive distribution see Equation 37 Sigrist et al. (2014), arXiv:1204.6118
