Predictions Line Plot

A time series of the predictions of each kreis can be plotted. For that, you need to chose a kreis from the drop down menu, or type its name. Then the unemployment rate predictions will be printed, and a time series graph will be plotted.

It is also possible to choose multiple kreise. Then, the unemployment rate predictions for each kreis will be printed separately, and a time series graph for all kreise will be plotted.

The graph shows the values of each kreis in a different line. The ground truth unemployment rates in different colors on the left, and the predicted values in red on the right.

It is also possible to pick the start date for the graph, which is helpful if you are interested in a very short or long time period.
