Steps for creating and submitting a real-time ensemble forecast. This set of steps needs to be performed every Monday evening after 5pm (or whenever the last models get pushed) and before 11:59pm.
- Make sure you are on the
master
branch of thecdc-flusight-ensemble
repository. - Pull all recent commits.
- Check to see if all component models have current forecasts. If not, the ensemble will still build, but send email to nudge contributors.
- Run the
make-real-time-ensemble-forecast-file.R
script with the following command from root cdc-flusight-ensemble directory:
Rscript ./scripts/make-real-time-ensemble-forecast-file.R <CURRENT WEEK>
where <CURRENT WEEK>
is the current EPIWeek as an integer (i.e. 42). This should generate a set of all ensemble forecast files, including one that is saved in model-forecasts/submissions/target-based-weights
, and a multi-page PDF file with plots in the model-forecasts/submissions/target-based-weights/plots/
folder.
- Look at the plots to make sure nothing looks terribly out of alignment.
- Commit the plots file and all new ensemble files to your local git repository. Your commit message MUST include: "trigger build" in lowercase letters (Travis is case-sensitive). i.e. "trigger build week 42".
- Push all files to the master branch.
- Email the submission file to the CDC.
- Tweet out new forecasts!
