Retrieve actual results for provided forecasts

get_actuals(
  predictions_cards,
  geo_type = c("county", "hrr", "msa", "dma", "state", "hhs", "nation")
)

Arguments

predictions_cards	tibble of predictions that are all for the same prediction task, meaning they are for the same response, incidence period and geo_type. Forecasts may be for a different forecast date or forecaster. A predictions card may be created by the function `get_predictions()`, downloaded with `get_covidhub_predictions()` or possibly created manually.
geo_type	String indicating geographical type, such as "county", or "state". See the COVIDcast Geographic Coding documentation for available options.

Value

'predictions_cards' with an added column actual, which represents the observed value on the date. The quantile and value columns are dropped, as the actual value does not depend on the quantile predictions.
