Overview

About

Maintained by Mitchell O'Hara-WildFirst published 2019-09-2313 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a collection of commonly used univariate and multivariate time series forecasting models including automatically selected exponential smoothing (ETS) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. These models work within the 'fable' framework provided by the 'fabletools' package, which provides the tools to evaluate, visualise, and combine models in a workflow consistent with the tidyverse.
