Anticipy

Anticipy is a tool to generate forecasts for time series. It takes a pandas Series or DataFrame as input, and returns a DataFrame with the forecasted values for a given period of time.

Features:

• Simple interface. Start forecasting with a single function call on a pandas DataFrame.
• Model selection. If you provide different multiple models (e.g. linear, sigmoidal, exponential), the tool will compare them and choose the best fit for your data.
• Trend and seasonality. Support for weekly and monthly seasonality, among other types.
• Calendar events. Provide lists of special dates, such as holiday seasons or bank holidays, to improve model performance.
• Data cleaning. The library has tools to identify and remove outliers, and to detect and handle step changes in the data.

It is straightforward to generate a simple linear model with the tool - just call forecast.run_forecast(my_dataframe): ::

import pandas as pd, numpy as np from anticipy import forecast

df = pd.DataFrame({'y': np.arange(0., 5)}, index=pd.date_range('2018-01-01', periods=5, freq='D')) df_forecast = forecast.run_forecast(df, extrapolate_years=1) print(df_forecast.head(12))

Output: ::
