Description

A sample_weight parameters should be added to metrics.

Where it is not clear what to do, the following default can be used:

  • compute jackknife pseudo-samples
  • weight the pseudo-samples
  • average the weighted pseudo-samples

For consideration, a tag is perhaps needed here.

FYI @eenticott-shell, due to authorship of some of the metrics.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the metrics implementation and the related discussion in sktime issue #6412, since no files or tests are identified here. Determine the affected metrics and how sample weights should be represented; done means supported metrics accept sample_weight and follow the stated pseudo-sample weighting behavior, with any needed tagging addressed.
