uncertainty_sample

Integer. Number of draws to be made for the error bars. Default is 100.

nowcasted_data

The full_data element of the model object resulting from the nowcasting() function. Used to substitute missing historical data.

full_exog_predicted_data

An argument to pass a larger data.frame to the function that can contain the entire exogenously predicted data. This is an argument that is needed in the nowcasting() function.

Value
