Updates Forecast Horizon Based on Input Data and Target
Description
Makes sure that a forecast is returned for the user specified time period
beyond the target date.
Usage
update_horizon(horizon, target_date, data)
Arguments
horizon |
Numeric, defaults to 7. Number of days into the future to
forecast.
|
target_date |
Date, defaults to maximum found in the data if not
specified.
|
data |
A <data.frame> of disease reports (confirm) by date (date).
confirm must be numeric and date must be in date format. Optionally
this can also have a logical accumulate column which indicates whether
data should be added to the next data point. This is useful when modelling
e.g. weekly incidence data. See also the fill_missing() function which
helps add the accumulate column with the desired properties when dealing
with non-daily data. If any accumulation is done this happens after
truncation as specified by the truncation argument.
