2c:null 2d:["$","title",null,{"children":"What’s different? Analyzing Time-Series Forecast Performance | GfK Displayr Engineering | Observable"}] 32:T43d,Often we're interested in the difference between two related metrics over time. For example, we might want to know the difference between a forecast, and what actually ended up happening (the "actuals"). In this example, we're looking at the actual demand and the day-ahead forecasted demand for energy leading up to and during the [February 2021 Texas power crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis). As prices surged and rolling blackouts were initiated to [protect the grid](https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/18/texas-power-outages-ercot/), 4.5 million homes and businesses were left without power. Imagine that we're a few weeks past the crisis, looking back to learn more about what happened during those crucial hours and days. Of course, a good standard way of looking at this data is to simply show a line chart with two lines, one for ${textcolor('actual energy demand', colors.get('actuals'))} and one for the ${textcolor('forecast', colors.get('forecast'))}. Adding an annotation and vertical rule provides context about an event of interest. 33:T464,Plot.plot({ marks: [ // dark blue line to show the actual demand Plot.line(data, { x: "date", y: "actuals", stroke: colors.get("actuals"), curve: "step" }), // dashed partially opaque line to show the day-ahead forecasted demand Plot.line(data, { x: "date", y: "forecast", stroke: colors.get("forecast"), curve: "step", strokeDasharray: "2 2" }), // rule at bottom of chart marking y=0; Plot.ruleY([0]), // vertical rule to mark date/time of event Plot.ruleX([event.datetime], { stroke: "gray", y1: 0, y2: maxValue * 1.03 }), // text to mark date/time of event Plot.text([event], { text: "description", x: "datetime", y: maxValue * 1.05, textAnchor: "start" }) ], x: { ticks: d3 .utcWeeks(...d3.extent(data, (d) => d.date)) .map((d) => d3.utcHour.offset(d, 6)), tickFormat: (d) => d.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: "America/Chicago", month: "short", day: "numeric" }) }, marginLeft: 50, width })34:T72d,Plot.plot({ marks: [ // dark blue line to show the actual demand Plot.line(data, { x: "date", y: "actuals", stroke: colors.get("actuals"), curve: "step", strokeWidth: 0.5 }), Plot.areaY(data, { x: "date", y1: "forecast", y2: (d) => Math.max(d.forecast, d.actuals), sort: "date", fill: colors.get("above") }), Plot.areaY(data, { x: "date", y1: "forecast", y2: (d) => Math.min(d.forecast, d.actuals), sort: "date", fill: colors.get("below") }), // rule at bottom of chart marking y=0; Plot.ruleY([0]), // vertical rule to mark date/time of event Plot.ruleX([event.datetime], { stroke: "gray", y1: 0, y2: maxValue * 1.03 }), // text to mark date/time of event Plot.text([event], { text: "description", x: "datetime", y: maxValue * 1.05, textAnchor: "start" }) ], x: { ticks: d3 .utcWeeks(...d3.extent(data, (d) => d.date)) .map((d) => d3.utcHour.offset(d, 6)), tickFormat: (d) => { return d.toLocaleString("en-US", { month: "short", day: "2-digit", // to display the UTC date/times in the timezone in which the events took place timeZone: "America/Chicago" }); } }, color: { domain: ["above", "below", "actuals", "forecast"], range: [ colors.get("above"), colors.get("below"), colors.get("actuals"), colors.get("forecast") ] }, x: { ticks: d3 .utcWeeks(...d3.extent(data, (d) => d.date)) .map((d) => d3.utcHour.offset(d, 6)), tickFormat: (d) => d.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: "America/Chicago", month: "short", day: "numeric" }) }, marginLeft: 60, width })35:T491,Plot.plot({ marks: [ // dark blue line to show the actual demand Plot.line(data, { x: "date", y: "actuals", stroke: colors.get("actuals"), curve: "step" }), // dashed partially opaque line to show the day-ahead forecasted demand Plot.line(data, { x: "date", y: "forecast", stroke: colors.get("forecast"), curve: "step", strokeDasharray: "2 2" }), // rule at bottom of chart marking y=0 Plot.ruleY([0]), // vertical rule to mark date/time of event Plot.ruleX([event.datetime], { stroke: "gray", y1: 0, y2: maxValue * 1.03 }), // text to mark date/time of event Plot.text([event], { text: "description", x: "datetime", y: maxValue * 1.05, textAnchor: "start" }) ].concat(didYouNoticeThis), width: Math.max(width, 550), marginLeft: 60, x: { ticks: d3 .utcWeeks(...d3.extent(data, (d) => d.date)) .map((d) => d3.utcHour.offset(d, 6)), tickFormat: (d) => d.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: "America/Chicago", month: "short", day: "numeric" }) } })36:T4d8,Plot.plot({ marks: [ // dark blue line to show the actual demand Plot.line(data.filter(zoom), { x: "date", y: "actuals", stroke: colors.get('actuals'), curve: "step" }), // dashed partially opaque line to show the day-ahead forecasted demand Plot.line(data.filter(zoom), { x: "date", y: "forecast", stroke: colors.get('forecast'), curve: "step", strokeDasharray: "2 2" }), // rule at bottom of chart marking y=0 Plot.ruleY([0]), // vertical rule to mark date/time of event Plot.ruleX([event.datetime], { stroke: "gray", y1: 0, y2: maxValue * 1.03 }), // text to mark date/time of event Plot.text([event], { text: "description", x: "datetime", y: maxValue * 1.05, textAnchor: "start" }), didYouNoticeThis ], width: Math.max(width, 550), marginLeft: 60, x: { ticks: 9, // Texas (CST) is 6 hours after UTC ticks: d3.utcDays(...d3.extent(zoomed, d => d.date)).map(d => d3.utcHour.offset(d, 6)), tickFormat: d => d.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: "America/Chicago", month: "short", day: "2-digit", }) }, })37:T668,More generally, it's a question of what metric is most important to us. In this case, since we're most interested in the *differences*, how much the actual demand was ${textcolor('above', colors.get('above'))} or ${textcolor('below', colors.get('below'))} the forecasted demand, **we're more likely to notice the key insights about differences by plotting the differences themselves**. In other cases, we might care more about how much the demand is changing compared to last week. If so, we'd want to a chart where the week / week growth is drawn explicitly. Or, perhaps it's really important if the forecasted demand crosses some threshold, perhaps 60,000kw. In that case, we could change the marks we draw, and the styles (color, opacity, etc) to draw attention to values above that [threshold](https://github.com/observablehq/plot/blob/main/README.md#color-options). Or, maybe we want to see what the typical demand is on a Tuesday vs a Sunday or in the summer vs winter. Then we could [facet](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-facets) by day-of-week or by season. By framing *"what chart should I use"* as a question about *"what's important to me about the data"*, we can intentionally choose [marks](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-marks), [scales](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-scales), [transforms](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-transforms), and [facets](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-facets) that are defined by the metrics we care most about. And, in doing so, the most important features of the data will be the most noticeable features of the visualization. 38:[] 30:{"id":"72d563c324e73dc6","slug":null,"title":"What’s different?
