get_metrics.forecast_multivariate_point: Get default metrics for multivariate point forecasts

In scoringutils: Utilities for Scoring and Assessing Predictions

Get default metrics for multivariate point forecasts

Description

For multivariate point forecasts, the default scoring rule is:

• "variogram_score" = variogram_score_multivariate_point()

Usage

## S3 method for class 'forecast_multivariate_point'
get_metrics(x, select = NULL, exclude = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	A forecast object (a validated data.table with predicted and observed values, see as_forecast_binary()).
select	A character vector of scoring rules to select from the list. If select is NULL (the default), all possible scoring rules are returned.
exclude	A character vector of scoring rules to exclude from the list. If select is not NULL, this argument is ignored.
...	unused
