Valid values

Default value

/templates

A list of templates separated by @ from which all series to be evaluated is selected.

 String

<none>

/intervalsback

The number of intervals backward from the current date to the start date of the evaluation period.

Integer

1

/backtimeunit

Time unit of the intervals stepped back to the start date of the evaluation period.

Ex.

 /intervalsback:1

/backtimeunit:Week

Start the evaluation on Monday last week

Day,Week,

Month

Month

/starthour

The hour of the day the evaluation should start.

1-24

1

/periodlength

The length of the evaluated period

Integer

1

/perioddtimeunit

Time unit specifying the length of evaluation

Day,Week,

Month

Month

/outcomeaggregations

How should series be summed up, according to saved information in the prog-files or updated to the current situation?

Saved, Updated

Updated

/resolution

The resolution of the evaluation in minutes.

5,10,15,20,30,

60

60

/loadquantity

In case of exporting load forecasts having other than hourly resolution, this parameter switches between energy and power.

Energy means that one quarter will have 1/4 of the hourly value.   

Power, Energy

Energy

/extracts

The collection of extracts that should be evaluated.

String

<none>

/exported

Boolean indicating if the exported forecast should be evaluated.

True, False

True

/unadjusted

Boolean indicating if the unadjusted forecast should be evaluated.

True, False

False

/selections

The selection collection that should be used for the evaluation.

String

<none>

/fractions

The selection collection that should be used for the evaluation.

String

<none>

/weatherobspos

The position (1-5) for the historical weather that is compared to the forecast weather.

1-5

1

/weighted

Boolean indicating if recreated forecasts should be weather weighted. Otherwise, only the weather on position '/weatherobspos' is used for the evaluated forecasts.

Boolean

True

/modelpositions

Flag that contains a list of alternative model positions separated by @ that should be evaluated.

Ex. /modelpositions:2@7

List of integers from 1 to 8 in a list separated by “@”

<none>

/writelog

Flag indicating if follow up log-files should be written.

Boolean

False

/sortcol

Flag that specifies the column from 1 to 7 by which the results in the report file should be sorted.

1=Name,

2=ME,

3=ME (%),

4=MAE,

5=MAE (%),

6=RMSE,

7=RMSE (%)

1

/sortorder

Flag that specifies the sort order in the result file.

Asc (Ascending), Desc (Descending)

Asc

/applychanges

Set to true if the program should apply changes to weights and dynamic fractions for all sub series that are evaluated. 

True,False

False

/blockwarnings

The program will block changes to weights and dynamic fractions for series that have any of the warning types listed to it and an error message will be written to the status log. The ‘Applyweights’ type concerns tolerance bounds for the estimated weights and the type ‘CompareExisting’ checks that the forecast quality, when evaluating the forecasts made with the optimized weights is within the tolerance bounds set for the series.

List of valid warning types separated by  ’@’

Valid types are:

 Applyweights,

CompareExisting

Empty List

/percentiles

Set to true if the program should (only) estimate the percentiles 0 (min value), 5, 10, … , 100 (max) for the series in the selected template. The percentiles are calculated from the forecasts saved in the prog-files which can be filtered by the extracts specified above. Also choose between using the saved ‘exported’ or ‘unadjusted’ forecasts.

True,False

False

/report

Set to true if the program should write the FollowUp results in csv-files under the folder: <>/followup/reportdata
