This update represents a major rewrite of the package and introduces breaking changes. If you want to keep using the older version, you can download it using remotes::install_github("epiforecasts/[email protected]").

The update aims to make the package more modular and customisable and overall cleaner and easier to work with. In particular, we aimed to make the suggested workflows for evaluating forecasts more explicit and easier to follow (see visualisation below). To do that, we clarified input formats and made them consistent across all functions. We refactored many functions to S3-methods and introduced forecast objects with separate classes for different types of forecasts. A new set of as_forecast_<type>() functions was introduced to validate the data and convert inputs into a forecast object (a data.table with a forecast class and an additional class corresponding to the forecast type (see below)). Another major update is the possibility for users to pass in their own scoring functions into score(). We updated and improved all function documentation and added new vignettes to guide users through the package. Internally, we refactored the code, improved input checks, updated notifications (which now use the cli package) and increased test coverage.

The most comprehensive documentation for the new package after the rewrite is the revised version
of our original scoringutils paper.

See the NEWS file for a detailed overview of the changes.
