class PatchTSMixerForecaster(model_path: str | None = 'ibm-granite/granite-timeseries-patchtsmixer', revision: str = 'main', config: dict | None = None, context_length: int | None = None, prediction_length: int | None = None, validation_split: float = 0.2, train_model: bool = True, scaling: bool = True, training_args: dict | None = None, callbacks: list | None = None, num_parallel_samples: int | None = None)[source]

Forecaster wrapping IBM PatchTSMixer (granite-tsfm / Hugging Face).

PatchTSMixer, developed by IBM, is a Lightweight MLP-Mixer Model for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting. Implementation inspired by [1].

y should use a DatetimeIndex (or PeriodIndex). Endogenous columns in y are forecast jointly; there is no exogenous X support. If y has no time index, index is reset, and a synthetic daily timestamp column is used instead.

Parameters:
model_pathstr, optional, default=”ibm-granite/granite-timeseries-patchtsmixer”

Hugging Face model id or local checkpoint path. If None, the model is initialized from config only (train from scratch).

revisionstr, default=”main”

Hub revision for from_pretrained.

configdict, optional, default=None

Extra fields for PatchTSMixerConfig (e.g. d_model, patch_length).

context_lengthint, optional, default=None

Input history length for sliding windows. If None, taken from the loaded config or defaults to 512 when training from scratch.

prediction_lengthint, optional, default=None

Forecast horizon length for the model head. If None, uses max(fh) when fh is passed to fit, else the loaded config default.

validation_splitfloat, optional, default=0.2

Fraction of y held out for validation during Trainer training.

train_modelbool, default=True

If True, run Trainer.train() on y. If False, only fit the preprocessor and load weights (pretrained model evaluate path).

scalingbool, default=True

Whether TimeSeriesPreprocessor standardizes targets.

training_argsdict, optional, default=None

Passed to TrainingArguments (label_names=["future_values"] is set if missing).

callbackslist, optional, default=None

Hugging Face Trainer callbacks (e.g. EarlyStoppingCallback).

num_parallel_samplesint, optional, default=None

Override num_parallel_samples on the model for generate.

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.
