calcSeriesAccuracy: Calculate the accuracy of a series of indexes

Description

Estimate the index accuracy for a (progressive) series of indexes

Usage

calcSeriesAccuracy(series_obj, test_method = "insample", test_type = "rt",
  pred_df = NULL, smooth = FALSE, summarize = FALSE, in_place = FALSE,
  in_place_name = "accuracy", ...)

Arguments

series_obj

Serieshpi object to be analyzed

test_method

default = 'insample'; Also 'kfold' or 'forecast'

test_type

default = 'rt'; Type of data to use for test. See details.

pred_df

default = NULL; Extra data if the test_type doesn't match data in hpi_obj

smooth

default = FALSE; Analyze the smoothed indexes

summarize

default = FALSE; When multiple accuracy measurements for single observation take the mean of them all.

in_place

default = FALSE; Should the result be returned into an existing `hpi` object

in_place_name

default = 'accuracy'; Name for returning in place

...

Additional Arguments

Value

`seriesaccuracy` object (unless calculated 'in_place')

Further Details

Unless using `test_method = "forecast"`` with a "forecast_length" of 1, the results will have more than one accuracy estimate per observations. Setting `summarize = TRUE` will take the mean accuracy for each observation across all indexes.

  #  Create Series (Suppressing messages do to small sample size of this example)
