include all measured variables (excluding the index and key variables).accuracy(<fbl_ts>) can now summarise accuracy over key variables. This is
done by specifying the accuracy by argument and not including some (or all)
of the fable's key variables (#341).forecast(), generate() will now keep exogenous regressors in the

common and consistent interface for common time series exogenous regressors.features()
functions if the .index argument is used in the function.fitted(h > 1) method (#302).scenarios() function for providing multiple scenarios to the
new_data argument. This allows different sets of future exogenous regressors
to be provided to functions like forecast(), generate(), and
interpolate() (#110).quantile_score(), which is similar to percentile_score() except it
allows a set of quantile probs to be provided (#280).autoplot(<dable>). If the decomposition
provides distributions for its components, then the uncertainty of the
components will be plotted with interval ribbons.generate().fitted(<mable>, h > 1).as_fable(<forecast>) for converting older forecast class objects to

forecast proportions techniques.middle_out() forecast reconciliation method.MDA(), MDV() and MDPV()
(#273, @davidtedfordholt).fill_gaps(<fable>).pinball_loss() and percentile_score() accuracy measures are now scaled
up by 2x for improved meaning. The loss at 50% equals absolute error and the
average loss equals CRPS (#280)..x, preventing conflicts with values named .x.box_cox() and inv_box_cox() are now vectorised over the transformation
parameter lambda.RMSSE() accuracy measure is now included in default accuracy() measures.response variable in as_fable() will no longer

forecast() when the future package is attached (#268).augment() function are no longer controlled
by the type argument. Response residuals (y - yhat) are now always found
in the .resid column, and innovation residuals (the model's error) are now
found in the .innov column. Response residuals will differ from innovation
residuals when transformations are used, and if the model has non-additive
residuals.dist_*() functions are now removed, and are completely replaced by the
distributional package. These are removed to prevent masking issues when
loading packages.fortify(<fable>) will now return a tibble with the same structure as the
fable, which is more useful for plotting forecast distributions with the
ggdist package. It can no longer be used to extract intervals from the
forecasts, this can be done using hilo(), and numerical values from a
<hilo> can be extracted with unpack_hilo() or interval$lower.View() panel.aggregate_key() can now be used with non-syntactic variable names.refit() dropping reconciliation attributes (#251).mean(), median(), variance(), quantile(), cdf() and density().autoplot.fbl_ts() and autolayer.fbl_ts() now accept the point_forecast
argument, which is a named list of functions that describe the method used to
obtain the point forecasts. If multiple are specified, each method will be
identified using the linetype.RMSSE(), pinball_loss(), scaled_pinball_loss().mable_vars()), response variables
(response_vars()) and distribution variables (distribution_var()).bind_*() and *_join() operations
on mables, dables, and fables. More verbs are supported by these extension
data classes, and so behaviour should work closer to what is expected.progressr::with_progress() function. Progress will no longer be
displayed automatically during lengthy calculations.hilo.fbl_ts() now keeps existing columns of a fable.forecast() will now return an empty fable instead of erroring when no
forecasts are requested.is_aggregated() now works for non-aggregated data types.forecast() now stores the distribution in the column
named the response variable (previously, this was the point forecast). Point
forecasts are now stored in the .mean column, which can be customised using
the point_forecast argument.bias_adjust option for forecast() is replaced by point_forecast,
allowing you to specify which point forecast measures to display (fable/#226).
This has been done to reduce confusion around the argument's usage,
disambiguate the returned point forecast's meaning, and also allow users
to specify which (if any) point forecasts to provide.as_mable, as_dable, and as_fable have been
changed to accept character vectors for specifying common attributes (such as
response variables, and distributions).models argument for mable and as_mable has been replaced with model
for consistency with the lack of plural in key.hilo intervals. The columns are the response variables. Similar structures
are returned when computing other distributional statistics like the mean.hilo intervals can no longer be unnested as they are now stored more
efficiently as a vctrs record type. The unpack_hilo() function will continue
to function as expected, and you can now obtain the components of the interval
with x$lower, x$upper, and x$level,rbind() methods are deprecated in favour of bind_rows()accuracy()) has
changed (due to shift to pivot_longer() from gather()). Model column name
values are now nested within key values, rather than key values nested in
model name values.show_gap option not working when more than one forecast is plotted.autolayer() plotting issues due to inherited aesthetics.aggregate_key() no longer drops keys, instead they are kept as forecast() producing forecasts via h when new_data does not
include a given series (#202).xreg() can now be called directly as a special.accuracy.fbl_ts() error when certain names were used in the fable.autoplot.fbl_ts() and autolayer.fbl_ts() now support
the show_gap argument. This can be used to connect the historical observations
to the forecasts (#113).components().
For example, tourism %>% STL(Trips) is now tourism %>% model(STL(Trips)) %>% components().
This change allows for more flexible decomposition specifications, and better interfaces for decomposition modelling.select.mdl_df() usage with negative select values (#120).features() for a tsibble with key variables but only one series.stream() causing issues with subsequent methods (#144).min_trace() reconciliation (@GeorgeAthana).CRPS()) accuracy measure.scale(value) to be used.min_trace(method = "wls_struct")) forecast reconciliation (@GeorgeAthana).mdl_df) which is a tibble-like data structure for applying multiple models to a dataset. Each row of the mable refers to a different time series from the data (identified by the key columns). A mable must contain at least one column of time series models (mdl_ts), where the list column itself (lst_mdl) describes how these models are related.fbl_ts) which is a tsibble-like data structure for representing forecasts. In extension to the key and index from the tsibble (tbl_ts) class, a fable (fbl_ts) must contain columns of point forecasts for the response variable(s), and a single distribution column (fcdist).dcmp_ts) which is a tsibble-like data structure for representing decompositions. This data class is useful for representing decompositions, as its print method describes how its columns can be combined to produce the original data, and has a more appropriate autoplot() method for displaying decompositions. Beyond this, a dable (dcmp_ts) behaves very similarly to a tsibble (tbl_ts).new_model_class(), new_model_definition()) and decomposition definitions (new_decomposition_class(), new_decomposition_definition()).GDP/CPI, the response will be the ratio of the pair. To transform a variable by some other data variable, the response can be specified using resp(), giving resp(GDP)/CPI. Multiple variables (and separate transformations for each), can be specified using vars(): vars(log(GDP), CPI). The inputs to the model are specified on the right hand side, and are handled using model defined specials (new_specials()).model() is the recommended interface, which can fit many model definitions to each time series in the input dataset returning a mable (mdl_df). The lower level interface for model estimation is accessible using estimate() which will return a time series model (mdl_ts), however using this interface is discouraged.forecast(), which allows you to produce future predictions of a time series from fitted models. The methods provided in fabletools handle the application of new data (such as the future index or exogenous regressors) to model specials, giving a simple and consistent interface to forecasting any model. The forecast methods will automatically backtransform and bias adjust any transformations specified in the model formula. This function returns a fable (fbl_ts) object.fcdist) which is used to describe the distribution of forecasts. Common forecast distributions have been added to the package, including the normal distribution (dist_normal()), multivariate normal (dist_mv_normal()) and simulated/sampled distributions (dist_sim()). In addition to this, dist_unknown() is available for methods that don't support distributional forecasts. A new distribution can be added using the new_fcdist() function. The forecast distribution class handles transformations on the distribution, and is used to create forecast intervals of the hilo class using the hilo() function. Mathematical operations on the normal distribution are supported.new_transformation()), and bias adjustment (bias_adjust()) methods.aggregate_key(), which is used to compute all levels of aggregation in a specified key structure. It supports nested structures using parent / key and crossed structures using keyA * keyB.reconcile(). This function modifies the way in which forecasts from a model column are combined to give coherent forecasts. In this version the MinT (min_trace()) reconciliation technique is available. This is commonly used in combination with aggregate_key().augment(), tidy(), and glance().components(), which returns a dable (dcmp_ts) that describes how the fitted values of a model were obtained from its components. This is commonly used to visualise the states of a state space model.equation(), which returns a formatted display of a fitted model's equation. This is commonly used to conveniently add model equations to reports, and to better understand the structure of the model.fitted(), model residuals with residuals(), and the response variable with response(). These functions return a tsibble (tbl_ts) object.refit(), which allows an estimated model to be applied to a new dataset.report(), which provides a detailed summary of an estimated model.generate() support, which is used to simulate future paths from an estimated model.stream(), which allows an estimated model to be extended using newly available data.interpolate(), which allows missing values from a dataset to be interpolated using an estimated model (and model appropriate interpolation strategy).features(), along with scoped variants features_at(), features_if() and features_all(). These functions make it easy to compute a large collection of features for each time series in the input dataset.feature_set(), which allows a collection of registered features from loaded packages to be accessed using a tagging system.decomposition_model(), which allows the components from any decomposition method that returns a dable (dcmp_ts) to be modelled separately and have their forecasts combined to give forecasts on the original response variable.combination_model(), which allows any model to be combined with any other. This function accepts a function which describes how the models are combined (such as combination_ensemble()). A combination model can also be obtained by using mathematical operations on model definitions or estimated models.null_model(), which can be used as a empty model in a mable (mdl_df). This is most commonly used as a substitute for models which encountered an error, preventing the successfully estimated models from being lost.accuracy(), which allows the accuracy of a model to be evaluated. This function can be used to summarise model performance on the training data (accuracy.mdl_df(), accuracy.mdl_ts()), or to evaluate the accuracy of forecasts over a test dataset (accuracy.fbl_ts()). Several accuracy measures are supported, including point_accuracy_measures (ME, MSE, RMSE, MAE, MPE, MAPE, MASE, ACF1), interval_accuracy_measures (winkler_score) and distribution_accuracy_measures (percentile_score). These accuracy functions can be used in conjunction with the rolling functions in the tsibble package (stretch_tsibble(), slide_tsibble(), tile_tsibble()) to computed time series cross-validated accuracy measures.
