triptych : Diagnostic Graphics to Evaluate Forecast Performance

CRAN status R-CMD-check

Overall predictive performance is measured by a mean score (or loss), which decomposes into miscalibration, discrimination, and uncertainty components. The main focus is visualization of these distinct and complementary aspects in joint displays. See Dimitriadis, Gneiting, Jordan, Vogel (2024) doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2023.09.007.

Installation

Install the latest release of triptych from CRAN with:

install.packages("triptych")

Install the development version of triptych with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("aijordan/triptych")

Example

library(triptych)
data(ex_binary, package = "triptych")
set.seed(20230921)

tr <- triptych(ex_binary)
