#' Persistence Forecaster #' #' Look for the most recent similar day in the past, and return its corresponding curve. #' #' There are two variations, depending whether "similar day" means "same day in the week" #' or "most recent day" (regardless of day type). The corresponding argument is named #' "same_day": a value of TRUE implies the former interpretation (same day in week). #' If the last similar day has missing values, the next one is searched, and so on until #' one full serie is found (if no one is found, NA is returned). #' #' @usage PersistenceForecaster$new(pjump) #' #' @docType class #' @format R6 class, inherits Forecaster #' @aliases F_Persistence #' PersistenceForecaster = R6::R6Class("PersistenceForecaster", inherit = Forecaster, public = list( predictShape = function(data, today, memory, horizon, ...) { # Return centered last (similar) day curve, avoiding NAs until memory is run first_day = max(1, today-memory) same_day = ifelse(hasArg("same_day"), list(...)$same_day, TRUE) # If 'same_day', get the last known future of similar day: -7 + 1 == -6 index = today - ifelse(same_day,6,0) repeat { { last_serie = data$getCenteredSerie(index)[1:horizon] index = index - ifelse(same_day,7,1) }; if (!any(is.na(last_serie))) return (last_serie); if (index < first_day) return (NA) } } ) )
