How to Automatically Assign the Best Forecasting Model Using R's Map Function
To solve this problem, you can use the Map function in R to apply a function to each element of a list and then use the which.min function to find the index of the minimum value. Here is the complete code: out1 <- Map(function(x) { y <- unlist(forecast::forecast(forecasting_model, start = x)) return(y) }, forecasting_model$start) acc <- unlist(Map(function(x, y) forecast::accuracy(x,y)[4], out1, forecasting_model$end)) ind1 <- which.min(acc) nm1 <- paste0("c_triple_holtwinters_additive", ind1 + 1) forecasting_model$[nm1] <- out1[[ind1]] This code first generates a list of forecasts using the Map function, then calculates the accuracy for each forecast using the accuracy function from the forecast package.
