normalize_probs: Normalize probabilistic predictions

In jarad/FluSight: Utility functions for the CDC FluSight competition

Description

Normalizes all probabilistic predictions so that the cumulative probability for a target sums to 1.

Usage

normalize_probs(entry, ignore_invalid = FALSE)

Arguments

entry	A verified entry data.frame with columns location, target, type, unit, bin_start_incl, bin_end_incl, and value.
ignore_invalid	logical; if FALSE all location/target combinations have probabilities normalized: if TRUE location/target combinations with probabilities summing to < 0.9 or > 1.1 are not normalized. Should be TRUE and run in combination with remove_invalid if run on an entry prior to scoring.

Value

An entry data.frame with normalized probabilities
