For the past several days I have been refreshing my knowledge of time series analysis and forecasting by watching videos made by experts in the field. Whilst perusing the search engine, I found out there is a new library, Darts, which I wanted to explore.

I watched the video and attempted to try it out on Google Colab and even Replit, but unfortunately both interpreters failed. Darts is a new library and there is not a lot on the internet about it, so I was unable to find a way to clear the error on Google Colab. I imagine there will be more literature available that will allow for the clearing of errors so this library can be used.

There was a lot of interesting material covered in the video, so I will commence with the review nevertheless.

Why is there a need for time series forecasting?

  1. How much of each product should a retail company buy to ensure the consumer demand for every product is met without overspending and creating waste?
  2. How much energy should we produce?
  3. How much energy will we produce given a certain set-up?
  4. Will our current infrastructure support the traffic in the near and far future?
