Find duplicate forecasts

Source: R/get_-functions.R
get_duplicate_forecasts.Rd

Internal helper function to identify duplicate forecasts, i.e. instances where there is more than one forecast for the same prediction target.

Usage

get_duplicate_forecasts(data, forecast_unit = NULL, counts = FALSE)

Arguments

data

A data.frame (or similar) with predicted and observed values. See the details section of as_forecast() for additional information on required input formats.

forecast_unit

(optional) Name of the columns in data (after any renaming of columns) that denote the unit of a single forecast. See get_forecast_unit() for details. If NULL (the default), all columns that are not required columns are assumed to form the unit of a single forecast. If specified, all columns that are not part of the forecast unit (or required columns) will be removed.

counts

Should the output show the number of duplicates per forecast unit instead of the individual duplicated rows? Default is FALSE.

Value

A data.frame with all rows for which a duplicate forecast was found

Examples

example <- rbind(example_quantile, example_quantile[1000:1010])
get_duplicate_forecasts(example)
