ts properties

Time Series node iconThe Time Series node estimates exponential smoothing, univariate Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and multivariate ARIMA (or transfer function) models for time series data and produces forecasts of future performance.

ts Properties Values Property description
targets field The Time Series node forecasts one or more targets, optionally using one or more input fields as predictors. Frequency and weight fields are not used. See Common modeling node properties for more information.
candidate_inputs [field1 ... fieldN] Input or predictor fields used by the model.

 Specifies the Exponential Smoothing method. Default is Simple.
futureValue_type_method
Compute
specify

If Compute is used, the system computes the Future Values for the forecast period for each predictor.

For each predictor, you can choose from a list of functions (blank, mean of recent points, most recent value) or use specify to enter values manually. To specify individual fields and properties, use the extend_metric_values property. For example:
set :ts.futureValue_type_method="specify"
set :ts.extend_metric_values=[{'Market_1','USER_SPECIFY', [1,2,3]},
{'Market_2','MOST_RECENT_VALUE', ''},{'Market_3','RECENT_POINTS_MEAN', ''}]

extend_metric_values fields Allows you to provide future values for predictors.
conf_limits flag

max_models_output integer Controls how many models are shown in output. Default is 10. Models are not shown in output if the total number of models built exceeds this value. Models are still available for scoring.
missing_value_threshold double Computes data quality measures for the time variable and for input data corresponding to each time series. If the data quality score is lower than this threshold, the corresponding time series will be discarded.
compute_future_values_input boolean False: Compute future values of inputs.
True: Select fields whose values you wish to add to the data.
