Did you know that R has a killer forecasting ecosystem?
Here's everything you need to know in under 2 minutes. ๐Ÿงต
#rstats #datascience #timeseries
R's forecasting ecosystem is ABSOLUTELY a thing of beauty.
You get:
1. Time Series Analysis
2. Forecasting
3. Ensembles
4. Resampling & Backtesting
5. AutoML
6. Deep Learning
(full disclosure - I created all the R packages I'm about to cover)
1. Timetk for Time Series Analysis
What it does:
I made this package to be a 1-stop shop for time series analysis.
Best Parts:
- Plot time series function
- Summarise by time function
Where to learn more? buff.ly
2. Modeltime for Forecasting
What it does:
Forecasting used to take me 10,000 lines of code.
With modeltime, my workflow is 200.
Best Parts:
- Integrates Tidymodels ecosystem
- Any tidymodel becomes a forecaster

3. Modeltime Ensemble for Forecast Ensembles
What it does:
"5 bad models makes 1 good model"
- Kaggle 2nd place winner, 2012
Best parts:
- 1 extra line of code, the modeltime table from 2 becomes an ensemble

4. Backtesting with Modeltime Resample
What it does:
"Your forecast is only as good as your backtest"
Best parts:
- Resample Accuracy Plots by Time Slices

5. Automatic machine learning for time series
What it does:
H2O AutoML makes insanely powerful machine learning models
Now they can become AutoML forecasters with Modeltime H2O
Best parts:
Make 100 ML forecast models automatically
Learn More: buff.ly
7. Deep learning for time series with Modeltime GluonTS
What it does:
Connects Modeltime to the GluonTS Deep Learning Forecasters
Best parts:
DeepAR makes 1000s of forecasts at scale
