plot_score_time_series

yohou.plotting.evaluation.plot_score_time_series(scorer, y_truth, y_pred, *, time_weight=None, step_weight=None, vintage_weight=None, compare_by='scorer', columns=None, groups=None, facet_by='member', facet_n_cols=2, color_palette=None, show_legend=True, title=None, x_label=None, y_label=None, width=None, height=None, connect_gaps=False, resampler=None, line_width=2.0, line_dash='solid', line_opacity=1.0, show_markers=False)

Plot scorer values over time for one or more forecasts.

Evaluates forecast quality at each timestep by computing the scorer with componentwise aggregation, then plots the resulting score time series. Useful for identifying periods where forecast performance varies.

Parameters

Name Type Description Default
scorer BaseScorer or dict[str, BaseScorer]

Yohou scorer instance (e.g., MeanAbsoluteError, RootMeanSquaredError). Will be cloned and configured with aggregation_method="componentwise".

  • If BaseScorer: single scorer to evaluate.
  • If dict: keys are scorer names, values are scorer instances. When combined with dict y_pred, the compare_by parameter controls which dimension is faceted vs overlaid.
required
y_truth DataFrame

Ground truth values with 'time' column.

required
y_pred DataFrame or dict[str, DataFrame]

Predicted values with 'vintage_time' and 'time' columns. - If DataFrame: single forecast to plot - If dict: multiple forecasts with keys as model names

required
time_weight callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None

Time weighting function, DataFrame, or dict forwarded to scorer.score(). When provided, per-timestep scores are weighted before being plotted.

None
step_weight callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None

Per-step weights forwarded to scorer.score().

None
vintage_weight callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None

Per-vintage weights forwarded to scorer.score().

None
compare_by str

When both scorer and y_pred are dicts, controls which dimension is overlaid (colored lines) vs faceted (subplots):

  • "scorer": overlay scorers, facet by model.
  • "model": overlay models, facet by scorer.

Ignored when either scorer or y_pred is not a dict.

"scorer"
columns str | list[str] | None

Target column name(s) to include in the score. When groups is set, acts as a member postfix filter (e.g. "a" selects group__a). When None, all score columns are used.

None
groups list[str] | None

Panel group prefixes for faceted subplots. When provided, each group gets its own subplot showing the score time series for that group. Groups are resolved via inspect_panel against y_truth.

None
facet_by Literal['group', 'member', 'vintage'] | None

Faceting axis for panel data or vintage data. "group" creates one subplot per group, "member" one per member. "vintage" creates one subplot per vintage_time value found in y_pred, showing how score evolves across forecast origins. None disables faceting. "group" and "member" are ignored for non-panel data.

"member"
facet_n_cols int

Number of columns in the facet grid when groups is used.

2
color_palette list[str] | None

Custom color palette as hex codes. If None, uses yohou palette.

None
show_legend bool

Whether to show legend when plotting multiple forecasts.

True
title str | None

Plot title. If None, generates title from scorer name.

None
x_label str | None

X-axis label. Defaults to "time".

None
y_label str | None

Y-axis label. If None, uses scorer class name.

None
width int | None

Plot width in pixels.

None
height int | None

Plot height in pixels.

None
connect_gaps bool

Whether to connect gaps in the data with lines.

False
resampler bool | Literal['widget'] | None

Enable plotly-resampler for large datasets. True or "widget" creates a FigureWidgetResampler; False or None uses a plain go.Figure.

None
line_width float

Width of score lines.

2.0
line_dash str

Dash style of score lines.

"solid"
line_opacity float

Opacity of score lines.

1.0
show_markers bool

Whether to show markers on the lines.

False

Returns

Type Description
Figure

Plotly figure object.

Raises

Type Description
TypeError

If y_truth or y_pred is not a Polars DataFrame.

ValueError

If DataFrames are empty or missing required columns.

Examples

>>> import polars as pl
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from yohou.metrics import MeanAbsoluteError
>>> from yohou.plotting import plot_score_time_series
>>> # Create sample data
>>> y_truth = pl.DataFrame({

...     "value": [12.0, 19.0, 28.0],
... })
>>> # Plot score time series for single forecast
>>> scorer = MeanAbsoluteError()
>>> fig = plot_score_time_series(scorer, y_truth, y_pred)
>>> len(fig.data)
1
>>> # Plot multiple forecasts
>>> y_pred2 = pl.DataFrame({
...     "vintage_time": [datetime(2019, 12, 31)] * 3,
...     "time": [datetime(2020, 1, 1), datetime(2020, 1, 2), datetime(2020, 1, 3)],
...     "value": [11.0, 21.0, 29.0],
... })
>>> fig = plot_score_time_series(scorer, y_truth, {"Model A": y_pred, "Model B": y_pred2})
>>> len(fig.data)
2

Notes

  • Scorer is automatically configured with aggregation_method="componentwise"
  • For interval scorers, use aggregation_method=["componentwise", "coveragewise"]
  • Requires scorer to support componentwise aggregation
  • All scores are computed independently at each timestep
  • Use facet_by="vintage" to compare score curves across forecast origins (requires y_pred with multiple vintage_time values)

    ----------
    scorer : BaseScorer or dict[str, BaseScorer]
        Yohou scorer instance (e.g., MeanAbsoluteError, RootMeanSquaredError).
        Will be cloned and configured with aggregation_method="componentwise".

        - If BaseScorer: single scorer to evaluate.
        - If dict: keys are scorer names, values are scorer instances.
          When combined with dict ``y_pred``, the ``compare_by`` parameter
          controls which dimension is faceted vs overlaid.
    y_truth : pl.DataFrame
        Ground truth values with 'time' column.
    y_pred : pl.DataFrame or dict[str, pl.DataFrame]
        Predicted values with 'vintage_time' and 'time' columns.
        - If DataFrame: single forecast to plot
        - If dict: multiple forecasts with keys as model names
    time_weight : callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None, default=None
        Time weighting function, DataFrame, or dict forwarded to
        ``scorer.score()``.  When provided, per-timestep scores are
        weighted before being plotted.
    step_weight : callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None, default=None
        Per-step weights forwarded to ``scorer.score()``.
    vintage_weight : callable, pl.DataFrame, dict, or None, default=None
        Per-vintage weights forwarded to ``scorer.score()``.
    compare_by : str, default="scorer"
        When both ``scorer`` and ``y_pred`` are dicts, controls which
        dimension is overlaid (colored lines) vs faceted (subplots):

        - ``"scorer"``: overlay scorers, facet by model.
        - ``"model"``: overlay models, facet by scorer.

        Ignored when either ``scorer`` or ``y_pred`` is not a dict.
    columns : str | list[str] | None, default=None
        Target column name(s) to include in the score.  When
        *groups* is set, acts as a member postfix filter
        (e.g. ``"a"`` selects ``group__a``).  When ``None``, all score
        columns are used.
    groups : list[str] | None, default=None
        Panel group prefixes for faceted subplots.  When provided, each
        group gets its own subplot showing the score time series for that
        group.  Groups are resolved via ``inspect_panel`` against
        *y_truth*.
    facet_by : Literal["group", "member", "vintage"] | None, default="member"
        Faceting axis for panel data or vintage data.  ``"group"`` creates
        one subplot per group, ``"member"`` one per member. ``"vintage"``
        creates one subplot per ``vintage_time`` value found in *y_pred*,
        showing how score evolves across forecast origins.
        ``None`` disables faceting. ``"group"`` and ``"member"`` are
        ignored for non-panel data.
    facet_n_cols : int, default=2
        Number of columns in the facet grid when *groups* is
        used.
    color_palette : list[str] | None, default=None
        Custom color palette as hex codes. If None, uses yohou palette.
    show_legend : bool, default=True
        Whether to show legend when plotting multiple forecasts.
    title : str | None, default=None
        Plot title. If None, generates title from scorer name.
    x_label : str | None, default=None
        X-axis label. Defaults to "time".
    y_label : str | None, default=None
        Y-axis label. If None, uses scorer class name.
    width : int | None, default=None
        Plot width in pixels.
    height : int | None, default=None
        Plot height in pixels.
    connect_gaps : bool, default=False
        Whether to connect gaps in the data with lines.
    resampler : bool | Literal["widget"] | None, default=None
        Enable plotly-resampler for large datasets.  ``True`` or
        ``"widget"`` creates a ``FigureWidgetResampler``; ``False`` or
        ``None`` uses a plain ``go.Figure``.
    line_width : float, default=2.0
        Width of score lines.
    line_dash : str, default="solid"
        Dash style of score lines.
    line_opacity : float, default=1.0
        Opacity of score lines.
    show_markers : bool, default=False
        Whether to show markers on the lines.

    Returns
