Check whether the observed value is within a given central prediction interval. The prediction interval is defined by a lower and an upper bound formed by a pair of predictive quantiles. For example, a 50% prediction interval is formed by the 0.25 and 0.75 quantiles of the predictive distribution.
Arguments
- observed
Numeric vector of size n with the observed values.
- predicted
Numeric nxN matrix of predictive quantiles, n (number of rows) being the number of forecasts (corresponding to the number of observed values) and N (number of columns) the number of quantiles per forecast. If
observed
is just a single number, then predicted can just be a vector of size N.- quantile_level
Vector of of size N with the quantile levels for which predictions were made.
- interval_range
A single number with the range of the prediction interval in percent (e.g. 50 for a 50% prediction interval) for which you want to compute interval coverage.
