Repository for major releases, feedback, and bug reports.

For details, check out the latest ForecastR Report

What's New?

Since the last major release in the spring of 2020, the following major updates have been implemented:

• Return Rate (Mechanistic) Model added to the package code and to the app interface.
• Explore tab options dynamically respond to data set and model selection (e.g. only show sibling regression model options if data has age classes, menu options for model settings adapt to model selection)
• Compare tab model selection re-design: have tabs for each model type now, with model-specific options.

Note: The code for the ForecastR package is continuously evolving. Whenever we get to a major release milestone, we make the code available here. This repository is where the development team interacts with the End User Community.

ForecastR is available in 2 configurations:

• Shiny App: Interactive interface for exploring and ranking alternative forecast models.
• R Package: Command line access to the computational engine.
