Details

A data.list is simply a list of vectors and data.frames. For the use in the onlineforecast package the following format must be kept:

- t: A vector of time.

- vectors with same length as t: Holds observations and values synced to time t.

- data.frames with number of rows as time t: Holds forecasts in each column named by kxx where xx is the horizon, e.g. k0 is synced as observations, and k1 is one-step ahead.

The convention is that columns with forecasts are postfixed with .kxx where xx is the horizon. See the examples.
