GluonTS

GluonTS is a Python package for probabilistic time series modeling, focusing on deep learning based models. GluonTS requires Python 3.6 or newer, and the easiest way to install it is via pip. We train a DeepAR-model and make predictions using the simple "airpassengers" dataset. The dataset consists of a single time-series, containing monthly international passengers between the years 1949 and 1960, a total of 144 values (12 years * 12 months). We split the dataset into train and test parts, by removing the last three years (36 months) from the train data. Thus, we will train a model on just the first nine years of data. Python has the notion of extras – dependencies that can be optionally installed to unlock certain features of a package. We make extensive use of optional dependencies in GluonTS to keep the amount of required dependencies minimal. To still allow users to opt-in to certain features, we expose many extra dependencies.
