Contributions summary:Emil primarily contributed to improving the `forecast` R package by addressing specific code issues. Their work focused on spelling out arguments for function calls, ensuring clarity and preventing partial match warnings, specifically within the `tbats`, `arima`, and `thetaf` functions. They also improved the test suite by explicitly specifying arguments related to time series frequency, enhancing the robustness and maintainability of the testing framework. Additionally, the user prettified some code.
