A baselinenowcast_df object which contains point or probabilistic nowcasts alongside reference dates and any additional metadata, in tidy data format. Nowcasts are presented aggregated across delays, by reference date.

Structure

A baselinenowcast_df is a data.frame with the following columns:

reference_date

Dates corresponding to the reference times of the nowcast.

pred_count

Numeric indicating the estimated total counts aggregated across delays at each reference date.

draw

Integer indexing the sample from the probabilistic nowcast distribution. If output_type = "point", this will be set to 1.

output_type

Character string indicating whether the pred_count represents a probabilistic draw from the observation model indicated by "samples" or whether the pred_count is a point estimate indicated by "point".

See the corresponding reporting_triangle and baselinenowcast function for more details on the required inputs to generate the object.
