Overview

About

Maintained by Resul AkayFirst published 2022-01-275 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Conformal time series forecasting using the caret infrastructure. It provides access to state-of-the-art machine learning models for forecasting applications. The hyperparameter of each model is selected based on time series cross-validation, and forecasting is done recursively.
