StatsForecastAutoETS

class StatsForecastAutoETS(season_length: int = 1, model: str = 'ZZZ', damped: bool | None = None, phi: float | None = None)[source]

StatsForecast Automatic Exponential Smoothing model.

Direct interface to statsforecast.models.AutoETS, from statsforecast [1] by Nixtla. The statsforecast implementation is a mirror of Hyndman’s forecast::ets [2].

Automatically selects the best ETS (Error, Trend, Seasonality) model using an information criterion. Default is Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), while particular models are estimated using maximum likelihood. The state-space equations can be determined based on their $M$ multiplicative, $A$ additive, $Z$ optimized or $N$ omitted components. The model string parameter defines the ETS equations: E in [$M, A, Z$], T in [$N, A, M, Z$], and S in [$N, A, M, Z$].

For example when model=’ANN’ (additive error, no trend, and no seasonality), ETS will explore only a simple exponential smoothing.

If the component is selected as ‘Z’, it operates as a placeholder to ask the AutoETS model to figure out the best parameter.

Parameters:
season_lengthint, optional (default=1)

Number of observations per unit of time. Ex: 24 Hourly data.

modelstr, optional (default=”ZZZ”)

Controlling state-space-equations.

dampedbool, optional (default=None)

A parameter that ‘dampens’ the trend.

phifloat, optional (default=None)

Smoothing parameter for trend damping. Only used when damped=True.

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.
