Getting Started - Forecasting with Machine Learning

Learn how to use MLForecast to leverage machine learning models for time series forecasting

Description

A starter notebook to experiment with machine learning for time series forecasting. We use MLForecast to explore the different types of features we can build:

  • lag features
  • lag transformations
  • target transformations
  • date features

We also show how to run hyperparameter optimization to tune your model's hyperparameters and also select the best combination of features.

 

Finally, we show how to evaluate your model with cross-validation and with metrics specifically designed for inventory data, like cumulative forecast error (CFE) or product in stock (PIS).

 

Make sure to run “pip install mlforecast utilsforecast” to reproduce the results.
