New Feature: Nested (Iterative) Forecasting

Nested (Iterative) Forecasting is aimed at making it easier to perform forecasting that is traditionally done in a for-loop with models like ARIMA, Prophet, and Exponential Smoothing. Functionality has been added to:

Format data in a Nested Time Series structure

Nested Model Fitting (Train/Test)

Nested Model Selection

Nested Model Refitting (Actual Data)

Group-Wise Accuracy and Confidence Interval by Time Series ID

We’ve expanded Panel Data functionality to produce model accuracy and confidence interval estimates by a Time Series ID (#114). This is useful when you have a Global Model that produces forecasts for more than one time series. You can more easily obtain grouped accuracy and confidence interval estimates.

New Features

Forecast without Calibration/Refitting

Sometimes it’s important to make fast forecasts without calculating out-of-sample accuracy and refitting (which requires 2 rounds of model training). You can now bypass the modeltime_calibrate() and modeltime_refit() steps and jump straight into forecasting the future. Here’s an example with h = "3 years". Note that you will not get confidence intervals with this approach because calibration data is needed for this.

# Make forecasts without calibration/refitting (No Confidence Intervals)
# - This assumes the models have been trained on m750
modeltime_table(
    model_fit_prophet,
    model_fit_lm
) %>%
    modeltime_forecast(
        h = "3 years",
        actual_data = m750
    ) %>%
    plot_modeltime_forecast(.conf_interval_show = F)

Residual Analysis & Diagonstics

A common tool when forecasting and analyzing residuals, where residuals are .resid = .actual - .prediction. The residuals may have autocorrelation or nonzero mean, which can indicate model improvement opportunities. In addition, users may which to inspect in-sample and out-of-sample residuals, which can display different results.

New Models

TBATS Model

Use seasonal_reg() and set engine to “tbats”.

seasonal_reg(
    seasonal_period_1 = "1 day",
    seasonal_period_2 = "1 week"
) %>%

NNETAR Model

Use nnetar_reg() and set engine to “nnetar”.

model_fit_nnetar <- nnetar_reg() %>%
