Create a hub
Determine what model output you want to collect
You need to answer a few questions first:
- What quantities do you want to collect? These are your modeling targets
- What variables do you want to use for modeling? These are your modeling task IDs
- What is the modeling horizon (if any)?
- What kind of estimates do you expect to represent the value of the modeling target (e.g. quantile and mean values)? These are output types.
- How often do you want to take submissions? your modeling rounds
By answering these questions, you will be able to determine your modeling tasks. A modeling task focuses on a single target and is made up of a unique combination of variables used for modeling and the output types. These variables are collectively known as task IDs.
