Sorted rows, automatic changepoints

match ← All linear growth benchmarks

96 daily rows with a slope change. Effect and Python fit the same rows; prediction covers 8 days.

Input

benchmark/inputs/v1/training-ordered.json: 96 history rows and 8 forecast rows.

Output

Largest difference: 1.6e-9 (< 0.0001% of the input's range).

Every forecast row from both libraries.
