mvgam() in which latent factors were used or in which
correlated dynamic processes were usedsummary.mvgam_forecast() function to compute
and return prediction intervals of posterior hindcasts and forecasts in
a data.frame format. This will make it easier for users to
create their own custom plots of hindcast and forecast distributions
