In scoringutils: Utilities for Scoring and Assessing Predictions

Check Prediction Input For Lower-level Scoring Functions

Description

Helper function to check inputs for lower-level score functions.

Usage

check_predictions(
  predictions,
  true_values = NULL,
  type = c("continuous", "integer", "binary"),
  class = c("vector", "matrix")
)

Arguments

predictions	an object with predictions. Depending on whether class = vector or class = "matrix" this can be either a vector of length n (corresponding to the length of the true_values) or a nxN matrix of predictive samples, n (number of rows) being the number of data points and N (number of columns) the number of Monte Carlo samples
true_values	A vector with the true observed values of size n
type	character, one of "continuous" (default), "integer" or "binary" that defines the type of the forecast
class	character, either "vector" (default) or "matrix" that determines the class the input has to correspond to
