It provides broad functionality to check the input data and diagnose issues, to visualise forecasts and missing data, to transform data before scoring, to handle missing forecasts, to aggregate scores, and to visualise the results of the evaluation. The package is easily extendable, meaning that users can supply their own scoring rules or extend existing classes to handle new types of forecasts. -The package underwent a major re-write.
