Reproducibility Files

Store information for reproducibility. This should include the following:

  1. version information (git hash of commit)

  2. forecast filename

  3. evaluation catalog (including necessary information to recreate the filtering properties); maybe just md5

  4. do we need calculation dates?

Evaluation Results

  • Each evaluation should return an evaluation result class that has an associated .plot() method.

  • We should be able to .plot() most everything that makes sense including forecasts and evaluation results.

    • How do we .plot() a catalog?

    • Should we .plot() a region?

    • For serialization, we can identify the appropriate class as a string in the class state and use that to create the correct object on load.

Forecast metadata information

  1. Forecast should contain metadata information to identify properties of the forecast

    • Start and end date

    • Spatial region

    • Magnitude bins

Working with GriddedForecasts

  • Right now, we can only spatial counts over the entire magnitude range. What if we wanted to have some control over this?

  • Might want to plot above some magnitude threshold or within some incremental threshold.

  • Should be able to have a method that returns a new GriddedForecast with specified parameters such as min/max magnitude.

Region information

  • The region information will need to accommodate more complex spaces including 3D areas and those with non-regular grids (e.g., quadtrees or meshes)
