US holidays, multiplicative

match ← All linear growth benchmarks

96 daily rows from 2024, country holidays plus custom January events, including simultaneous activations. Prediction spans late 2024 and early 2025; fitting includes lookup, and saved models embed the country snapshot.

Input

benchmark/inputs/v5/country-basic-96.json: 96 history rows and 4 forecast rows.

Output

Largest difference: 6.0e-12 (< 0.0001% of the input's range).

Every forecast row from both libraries.
