Plotly dash app.

I would love to expand on this a bit and merge in so that it's a core part of torchcast.

How difficult would it be to generalize the app so that it could be a tool that users could configure to explore/evaluate any set of torchcast forecasts?

[andywong36]

@brockf Right now, at any one time, you can look at
a. 2 sets of "Actuals"
b. one kind of forecast for the actuals.

Are you asking if we can have more than 2 actuals? or just spam the plot with all the forecasts?

Either or, it's easy.

If you meant something else, I'm not sure I understand

At the highest level, my question is: how can we make this a more generic dashboard which can be configured for the user's problem? For example, right now it loads df = pd.read_csv(DATA_DIR / "df_electricity.csv.gz", parse_dates=["time"]), but that is highly specific for our electricity forecasting problem.

Could we modify the dashboard such that it takes as configuration (1) a forecasting dataset, and (2) some column metadata and then we could have a dashboard for any set of forecasts?

Yes we can 👍

If you have an example of other datasets to support, then I can write up something.
