FeaturizationConfig (dict) –
The featurization configuration.
ForecastFrequency (string) –
The frequency of predictions in a forecast.
Valid intervals are an integer followed by Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), and min (Minute). For example, “1D” indicates every day and “15min” indicates every 15 minutes. You cannot specify a value that would overlap with the next larger frequency. That means, for example, you cannot specify a frequency of 60 minutes, because that is equivalent to 1 hour. The valid values for each frequency are the following:
Minute - 1-59
Hour - 1-23
Day - 1-6
Week - 1-4
Month - 1-11
Year - 1
Thus, if you want every other week forecasts, specify “2W”. Or, if you want quarterly forecasts, you specify “3M”.
The frequency must be greater than or equal to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.
When a RELATED_TIME_SERIES dataset is provided, the frequency must be equal to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.
ForecastDimensions (list) –
An array of dimension (field) names that specify how to group the generated forecast.
For example, suppose that you are generating a forecast for item sales across all of your stores, and your dataset contains a
store_id
field. If you want the sales forecast for each item by store, you would specifystore_id
as the dimension.All forecast dimensions specified in the
TARGET_TIME_SERIES

request. All forecast dimensions specified in theRELATED_TIME_SERIES
dataset must be specified in theCreatePredictor
request.(string) –
