Generate probabilistic consensus from multiple parameterized forecasts

Description

Generate probabilistic consensus from multiple parameterized forecasts

Usage

MetaculR_probabilistic_consensus(f)

Arguments

f	A list of forecasts (see example for necessary structure).

Value

A list of forecasts.

pdf	A dataframe of probability density functions corresponding to original forecasts and consensus forecast.
cdf	A dataframe of cumulative distribution functions corresponding to original forecasts and consensus forecast.
summary	A dataframe of summary statistics corresponding to original forecasts and consensus forecast, i.e., 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th centiles and mean.
