NeuralProphet

class NeuralProphet(freq=None, add_seasonality=None, custom_seasonalities=None, add_country_holidays=None, growth='linear', changepoints=None, n_changepoints=10, changepoints_range=0.8, yearly_seasonality=True, weekly_seasonality=True, daily_seasonality=False, seasonality_mode='additive', seasonality_reg=0, holidays=None, holidays_mode='additive', holidays_reg=0, trend_reg=0, trend_reg_threshold=False, learning_rate=None, epochs=None, batch_size=None, loss_func='Huber', alpha=0.05, uncertainty_samples=1000, verbose=False)[source]

NeuralProphet forecaster by wrapping NeuralProphet algorithm [1].

Direct interface to NeuralProphet, using the sktime interface. All hyper-parameters are exposed via the constructor.

Data can be passed in one of the sktime compatible formats. Like Prophet, NeuralProphet also supports integer/range and period index: * integer/range index is interpreted as days since Jan 1, 2000 * PeriodIndex is converted using the pandas method to_timestamp

Additional seasonality component parameters

Custom seasonality components

add_country_holidaysdict, optional

Country holidays to include

growthstr, default=”linear”

Type of trend (‘linear’ or ‘flat’)

changepointslist, optional

List of dates for trend changepoints

n_changepointsint, default=10

Number of potential trend changepoints

changepoints_rangefloat, default=0.8

Proportion of history for changepoints

yearly_seasonalitybool, default=True

Whether to include yearly seasonality

weekly_seasonalitybool, default=True

Whether to include weekly seasonality

daily_seasonalitybool, default=False

Whether to include daily seasonality

seasonality_modestr, default=”additive”

How seasonality is combined (‘additive’ or ‘multiplicative’)

seasonality_regfloat, default=0

Regularization strength for seasonality

holidayspd.DataFrame, optional

Custom holidays DataFrame

holidays_modestr, default=”additive”

How holidays are combined (‘additive’ or ‘multiplicative’)

holidays_regfloat, default=0

Regularization strength for holidays

trend_regfloat, default=0

Regularization strength for trend

trend_reg_thresholdbool, default=False

Threshold for trend regularization

learning_ratefloat, default=None

Maximum learning rate (applicable in quasi-Newton optimization)

epochsint, default=None

Number of training epochs

batch_sizeint, default=None

Number of samples per mini-batch

loss_funcstr, default=”Huber”

Type of loss to use (e.g., “Huber”, “MSE”, “MAE”, etc.)

alphafloat, default=0.05

Width of the uncertainty intervals

uncertainty_samplesint, default=1000

Number of samples for estimating uncertainty intervals

verbosebool, default=False

Whether to print status information during fitting

Attributes:
cutoff

Cut-off = “present time” state of forecaster.

fh

Forecasting horizon that was passed.

is_fitted

Whether fit has been called.

state

State of the estimator.

Notes

NeuralProphet does not yet support pandas 3. Until upstream compatibility is restored, this interface requires pandas 2.
