Examples

## Not run:  data(calibrationSample)

data(testSample) 

this.ForecastData <- makeForecastData(.predCalibration=calibrationSample[,c("LMER", "SAE", "GLM")],
.outcomeCalibration=calibrationSample[,"Insurgency"],.predTest=testSample[,c("LMER", "SAE", "GLM")],
.outcomeTest=testSample[,"Insurgency"], .modelNames=c("LMER", "SAE", "GLM"))
