This project
- is stable and being incubated for long-term support. It may contain new experimental code, for which APIs are subject to change.
- requires cmdstanpy as one of the core dependencies for Bayesian sampling.
Orbit is a Python package for Bayesian time series forecasting and inference. It provides a familiar and intuitive initialize-fit-predict interface for time series tasks, while utilizing probabilistic programming languages under the hood.
For details, check out our documentation and tutorials:
- HTML (stable): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- HTML (latest): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Currently, it supports concrete implementations for the following models:
- Exponential Smoothing (ETS)
- Local Global Trend (LGT)
- Damped Local Trend (DLT)
- Kernel Time-based Regression (KTR)
It also supports the following sampling/optimization methods for model estimation/inferences:
- Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) as a full sampling method
- Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) as a point estimate method
- Variational Inference (VI) as a hybrid-sampling method on approximate distribution
Install the library either from PyPi or from the source with pip.
Alternatively, you can also install it from Anaconda with conda:
With pip
-
Installing from PyPI
$ pip install orbit-ml
-
Install from source
$ git clone https://github.com/uber/orbit.git $ cd orbit $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ pip install .
With conda
The library can be installed from the conda-forge channel using conda.
$ conda install -c conda-forge orbit-ml$ pip install git+https://github.com/uber/orbit.git@devfrom orbit.utils.dataset import load_iclaims
from orbit.models import DLT
from orbit.diagnostics.plot import plot_predicted_data
# log-transformed data
df = load_iclaims()
# train-test split
test_size = 52
train_df = df[:-test_size]
test_df = df[-test_size:]
dlt = DLT(
response_col='claims', date_col='week',
regressor_col=['trend.unemploy', 'trend.filling', 'trend.job'],
seasonality=52,
)
dlt.fit(df=train_df)
# outcomes data frame
predicted_df = dlt.predict(df=test_df)
plot_predicted_data(
training_actual_df=train_df, predicted_df=predicted_df,
date_col=dlt.date_col, actual_col=dlt.response_col,
test_actual_df=test_df
)
