StackingForecaster

class StackingForecaster(forecasters, regressor=None, random_state=None, n_jobs=None)[source]

StackingForecaster.

Stacks two or more Forecasters and uses a meta-model (regressor) to infer the final predictions from the predictions of the given forecasters.

Parameters:

forecasterslist of (str, estimator) tuples: Estimators to apply to the input series.
regressor: sklearn-like regressor, optional, default=None.: The regressor is used as a meta-model and trained with the predictions of the ensemble forecasters as exog data and with y as endog data. The length of the data is dependent to the given fh. If None, then a GradientBoostingRegressor(max_depth=5) is used. The regressor can also be a sklearn.Pipeline().
random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None: Used to set random_state of the default regressor.
n_jobsint or None, optional (default=None): The number of jobs to run in parallel for fit. None means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend context. -1 means using all processors.

Attributes:

regressor_sklearn-like regressor: Fitted meta-model (regressor)

>>> from sktime.forecasting.naive import NaiveForecaster
>>> from sktime.forecasting.trend import PolynomialTrendForecaster
>>> from sktime.datasets import load_airline
>>> y = load_airline()
>>> forecasters = [
...     ("trend", PolynomialTrendForecaster()),
