Changelog • forecasttools

forecasttools 0.1.7

New ggplot2 helper functions and custom geometric objects: sym_limits(), geom_path_point(), geom_line_point()
New plotting function for forecast evaluation: plot_pred_obs_pointintervals()
New forecast scoring helper functions: summarize_scores_with_baseline(), get_shared_forecasts(), get_subset_forecasts(), filter_to_shared_forecasts(), filter_to_subset_forecasts().
New Hubverse to scorable table approach leveraging the hubverse “oracle output” target data format.
Refactor of data.cdc.gov data pull helper functions. Deprecation of pull_nhsn() in favor of new function pull_data_cdc_gov_dataset().

New function: modify_reference_date()
BREAKING CHANGE: Various epiweek/epiyear functions no longer default to the MMWR epiweek standard and require the user to specify a standard explicitly. To restore previous behavior, set epiweek_standard = "MMWR" explicitly.

BREAKING CHANGE: get_hubverse_table() has been removed and replaced by get_hubverse_quantile_table(), get_flusight_hub_table() and get_covid_hub_table().
horizons_from_target_end_dates is now vectorized
New function: hub_quantiles_to_median_qi()

BREAKING CHANGE: Functions to prepare hubs for scoring (hubverse_table_with_obs() and quantile_table_to_scorable()) now no longer assume that forecast tables contain a single target. This will break existing scoring workflows that use truth data without a target column. It can be addressed by setting the id_cols argument hubverse_table_with_obs() or quantile_table_to_scorable() explicitly.
New function for calculating forecast horizons from target end dates: horizons_from_target_end_dates()
New epiweek rounding functions: floor_mmwr_epiweek, ceiling_mmwr_epiweek(), floor_isoweek(), and ceiling_isoweek().
Smaller-than-memory parquet file I/O now handled via nanoparquet (previously handled via arrow, reducing forecasttools package weight and installation time.

BREAKING CHANGE: target_end_dates_from_horizons() and get_hubverse_table() now work with both daily and weekly horizons. To restore functionality of existing code, add the argument horizon_timescale = "weeks" to these functions.

Adds optional epidate annotation to daily_to_epiweekly()
Increases testing coverage
Fixes bug in pull_nhsn() so that ordering on multiple columns works as expected.
