Python library for time series forecasting using scikit-learn compatible models, statistical methods, and foundation models

Why this job: topics: scikit-learn, foundation-models, deep-learning, machine-learning

Backtesting of LightGBM, Chronos-2 and ARIMA with skforecast on daily electricity demand

What it does

  • Machine learning. any scikit-learn compatible regressor, such as LightGBM, XGBoost or CatBoost, with lags, rolling and calendar features. Recursive or direct strategies, for one series or thousands.
  • Foundation models. zero-shot forecasting with pre-trained models such as Chronos-2, TimesFM, Moirai-2 or TabPFN-TS, without training them.
  • Statistical models. ARIMA, SARIMAX, ETS and ARAR, with automatic model selection.
  • Deep learning. recurrent neural networks (RNN, LSTM) built with Keras.
  • Backtesting that reproduces how the model will be used: refits, gaps, fold strides, fixed or expanding windows.
