skforecast

Analyzes time series dynamics with the fast skforecast.stats functions acf, pacf and calculate_lag_autocorrelation. Covers reading ACF/PACF patterns to identify AR/MA orders and seasonality, ranking lags by partial autocorrelation, and feeding the result to…

Configures TimeSeriesFold parameters for backtesting based on deployment scenarios. Maps business requirements (retraining frequency, forecast horizon, data budget) to cross-validation strategy parameters. Use when the user describes how they plan to deploy…

Builds and evaluates simple baseline forecasts with ForecasterEquivalentDate (equivalent-date / seasonal-naive / moving-average) to benchmark machine learning models. Covers offset (int vs pandas DateOffset), n_offsets with agg_func, backtesting a baseline,…

Guides selection of the appropriate skforecast forecaster based on the user's data characteristics and requirements. Provides a decision matrix mapping use cases to forecaster classes. Use when the user is unsure which forecaster to use or asks for a…

Provides complete constructor and method signatures for all skforecast forecasters, backtesting functions, search functions, cross-validation classes, preprocessing, feature selection, and drift detection. Use when the user needs exact parameter names, types,…

Forecasts time series using recurrent neural networks (RNN, LSTM, GRU) with ForecasterRnn and the create_and_compile_model helper. Covers model architecture, training, and multi-series deep learning. Use when the user wants to use deep learning / neural…

Detects data drift in time series forecasting pipelines using RangeDriftDetector and PopulationDriftDetector. Covers range-based out-of-range detection and statistical distribution tests. Use when the user wants to monitor model reliability in production.

Creates features for time series forecasting: calendar features with skforecast's `CalendarFeatures` (cyclical, onehot, or spline encoding) — either delegated to the forecaster via the `calendar_features` parameter or built manually as exog — holiday distance…

Forecasts multiple time series simultaneously using a global model with ForecasterRecursiveMultiSeries or ForecasterDirectMultiVariate. Covers data formats, encoding, per-series transformers, and multi-series backtesting. Use when the user has two or more…

Forecasts a single time series using ForecasterRecursive or ForecasterDirect. Covers data preparation, model creation, training, prediction, backtesting, and prediction intervals. Use when the user needs to predict future values of one time series.

Zero-shot time series forecasting with pre-trained foundation models (Amazon Chronos-2, Google TimesFM 2.5, Salesforce Moirai-2, Soda-INRIA TabICL, Prior Labs TabPFN-TS, The Forecasting Company T0) via ForecasterFoundation and FoundationModel. Covers single…
