check_quantiles

Helper function to check that input quantiles are valid.
Quantiles must be in the range specified, increase monotonically,
and contain no duplicates.
This is used in <code>bias_range()</code> and <code>bias_quantile()</code> to
provide informative errors to users.

Provides a collection of metrics and proper scoring rules
(Tilmann Gneiting & Adrian E Raftery (2007)
<doi:10.1198/016214506000001437>, Jordan, A., Krüger, F., & Lerch, S. (2019)
<doi:10.18637/jss.v090.i12>) within a consistent framework for
evaluation, comparison and visualisation of forecasts.
In addition to proper scoring rules, functions are provided to assess
bias, sharpness and calibration
(Sebastian Funk, Anton Camacho, Adam J. Kucharski, Rachel Lowe, Rosalind
M. Eggo, W. John Edmunds (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006785>) of
forecasts.
Several types of predictions (e.g. binary, discrete, continuous) which may
come in different formats (e.g. forecasts represented by predictive samples
or by quantiles of the predictive distribution) can be evaluated.
Scoring metrics can be used either through a convenient data.frame format,
or can be applied as individual functions in a vector / matrix format.
All functionality has been implemented with a focus on performance and is
robustly tested. Find more information about the package in the
accompanying paper (<doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.07090>).
