skforecast

Time series forecasting with scikit-learn regressors.

Skforecast is a python library that eases using scikit-learn regressors as multi-step forecasters. It also works with any regressor compatible with the scikit-learn API (pipelines, CatBoost, LightGBM, XGBoost, Ranger...).

Installation

Latest (stable)

pip install skforecast

Specific version:

pip install skforecast==0.4.3

Development (unstable):

pip install git+https://github.com/JoaquinAmatRodrigo/skforecast#master
