+#' A Forecaster object encapsulates parameters (which can be of various kinds, for
+#' example "Neighbors" method stores informations about the considered neighborhood for
+#' the current prediction task) and one main function: \code{predictSerie()}. This last
+#' function (by default) calls \code{predictShape()} to get a forecast of a centered
+#' serie, and then calls the "jump prediction" function -- see "field" section -- to
+#' adjust it based on the last observed values.
+#'
+#' @usage # Forecaster$new(pjump) #warning: predictShape() is unimplemented
+#'
+#' @field .params List of computed parameters (if applicable).
+#' @field .pjump Function: how to predict the jump at day interface? The arguments of
+#'   this function are -- in this order:
+#'   \itemize{
+#'     \item data : object output of \code{getData()},
+#'     \item today : index (integer or date) of the last known day in data,
+#'     \item memory : number of days to use in the past (including today),
+#'     \item horizon : number of time steps to predict,
+#'     \item params : optimized parameters in the main method \code{predictShape()},
+#'     \item ... : additional arguments.
+#'   }
+#'   .pjump returns an estimation of the jump after the last observed value.
