Can't wait for the implementation of structural time series (dynamic linear models/state-space models). The dlm and KFAS packages do a great job, but being able to do it in the tidyverse will be just wonderful!
My favorite line was when Mitchell said that it's actually easier to fit a model to all 152 time series because there is no need to use the filter() function to do it on Victoria only :D
The next forecasting principles and practices book will use the tidyverts code. At this stage the software is still new and experimental, and so there are no books using these tools.
Hi Mitchell, great video. However, I cannot repeat the analyses as there is no access to the data anymore. That is, "tsibbledata::elecdemand" does result in an error ("no exportable object")
@@mitchelloharawild Hi Mitchell, sorry for bothering again but there is something weird going on. At 5:11 you show the electricity demand data and demand values are around 3. When loading the vic_elec data, in contrast, demand values are around 3,000. Furthermore neither the datetimes nor the number of rows is matching (the file in the video starts 2014 has only 17,000 rows, while vic_elec starts 2012 and has 52,000 rows).
How could I find the specific requirement of the dataset is functioning in tsibble, and fable? I was trying out but seems the package not not function then I had to go back to use old ARIMA model and forecast package : my data set, having about 300 products 1 year, each transaction data, but for each product. Some of the products, having multiple transactions per day, some of the products only sold once one some date in that year(not all the date)...should I regulate the data, to have for each product have one transaction each day and in all days? or is there any other reason the package does not work? Any suggestion will be appreciated! thank you!
The package is still experimental, and automated ARIMA model selection is not yet complete (does not select orders of integration). I don't exactly understand the problem that you are encountering, however feel free to provide a minimal reproducible example (www.tidyverse.org/help/#reprex) as an issue to the GitHub repository: github.com/tidyverts/fable/issues
Hi Mitchell, thank you for the response. will provide you the dataset this week. one more question here is do we have any documentation (where in the documentation if we have ) to explain what is the meaning of the parameter in a function. e.g. ETS(M,Ad,M): 1. what the meaning of three positions?:e.g. the first place is Method? the third place is 'seasonality'? 2. what the meaning of 'M', e.g you have ETS(A,A,A), and ETS(M,Ad,M), in the presentation, but after listen 3-4 times, I am still not sure about, what are those parameters and under what condition I can choose what. So I am thinking, do we have any documentation regarding how to use that? or currently we can only reading the sourcing code in the github and guess? Thank you! sorry for post questions at new year eve. Hope you and your team have a fantastic 2019.
You can read about ETS models in the fpp2 textbook: otexts.org/fpp2/ets.html Function documentation needs improvement, which will occur shortly prior to release.
This is great, thanks ! Prof. Hyndman in his books and blogs has often stressed that ETS & ARIMA are not suitable for hih frequency data (weekly, daily, hourly etc). TBATS and harmonic regression are most appropriate. In your exmaple you are using ETS on hourly data. Is that for illustration purposes or have any changes been made to the ETS() model to handle high frequency data?
This was for illustrative purposes, no changes have been made to ETS() and you should find it is equivalent to forecast::ets(). We currently recommend fasster for using Fourier terms in a state space model (much like TBATS uses) to handle high frequency data.
@@SandeepPawar1 fable is being used by many in production now. It is capable of the most commonly used models from forecast. Most of the improvements over forecast are currently focused on non model specific functionality like combinations and reconciliation.
@@mitchelloharawild I am guessing by reconciliation you mean hierarchical forecasting? Thanks again for this great package. Look forward to more documentation.

Fable is a great name for this package; kudos to whoever thought of that :)
Looking forward for the implementation of hierarchical forecasting.

If there can fit βayesian, Hidden markov model, LSTM models etc on High Frequency Trading will be best...
Love all the packages
Is there any book that can teach time series the tidyverts way...
Let me know please

Hi Mitchell, great video. However, I cannot repeat the analyses as there is no access to the data anymore. That is, "tsibbledata::elecdemand" does result in an error ("no exportable object")
This talk was given while tsibbledata was in early development and not yet on CRAN. This particular dataset is now available as tsibbledata::vic_elec

@@SandeepPawar1 Yes, probabilistic hierarchical reconciliation (improved hts package) and soon to be added temporal hierarchies (improved thief package).
