#' @title Binary Brier Score
#'
#' @details
#' The Binary Brier Score is defined as \deqn{
#'    \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n w_i (I_i - p_i)^2,
#' }{
#'    weighted.mean(((t == positive) - p)^2, w),
#' }
#' where \eqn{w_i} are the sample weights,
#'  and \eqn{I_{i}} is 1 if observation \eqn{x_i} belongs to the positive class, and 0 otherwise.
#'
#' Note that this (more common) definition of the Brier score is equivalent to the
#' original definition of the multi-class Brier score (see [mbrier()]) divided by 2.
