plotFixedHorizon: Fixed horizon graph
In forvis/forvision: Tools for forecast visualisation and evaluation

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Plots a graph showing point forecasts produced for the same time series, with the same horizon, but from various rolling origins. Forecasts can relate to one method or to a set of alternative methods.

1 2	plotFixedHorizon(ts, fc = NULL, series, h, method = NULL, graphLib = "dygraph")

`ts`	dataframe containing time series actuals formatted using the Time Series Table Schema (TSTS), use `showTSTS()` to display schema specification details. `ts` must contain `timestamp_dbo` column with timestamps formatted as an appropriate time-based object.
`fc`	dataframe containing forecasts formatted using the Forecast Table Schema (FTS), use `showFTS()` to display schema specification details. `fc` must contain `timestamp_dbo` column with timestamps formatted as an appropriate time-based object. if NULL, forecasts are not shown on the graph.
`series`	series_id for the time series to be shown.
`h`	forecast horizon for the horizon of the forecast to be shown.
`method`	method_id for the method to be shown.

Uses the following algorithm to plot the graph:

1) select all the forecasts from fc having the specified series_id, horizon, and method

2) plot point forecasts for the rows selected, use different colors for different methods

3) plot actuals contained in ts for the given series_id

Current time-based objects supported are Date, POSIXct, chron, yearmon, yearqtr, and timeDate.

a dygraph object containing the fixed horizon graph.

# obtain data

fc <- example1_fc

# create the "timestamp_dbo" column
library(zoo)
ts$timestamp_dbo <- as.yearmon(ts$timestamp, format = '%Y')
fc$timestamp_dbo <- as.yearmon(fc$timestamp, '%Y')

# plot a graph for some given horizon, series, and method
plotFixedHorizon(ts, fc, "Y1", 1, "A")
## Not run: 
# produces error because the input dataframes do not contain the "timestamp_dbo" column
plotFixedHorizon(example1_TSTS, example1_FTS, "Y1", 1, "A")
