Prophet is a procedure for forecasting time series data based on an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data. Prophet is robust to missing data and shifts in the trend, and typically handles outliers well.
Prophet is open source software released by Facebook's Core Data Science team. It is available for download on CRAN and PyPI.
Prophet is a CRAN package so
you can use install.packages.
install.packages('prophet')After installation, you can get started!
You can also choose an experimental alternative stan backend called
cmdstanr. Once you've installed prophet,
follow these instructions to use cmdstanr instead of
rstan as the backend:
# R
# We recommend running this in a fresh R session or restarting your current session
install.packages(c("cmdstanr", "posterior"), repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))
# If you haven't installed cmdstan before, run:
cmdstanr::install_cmdstan()
# Otherwise, you can point cmdstanr to your cmdstan path:
cmdstanr::set_cmdstan_path(path = <your existing cmdstan>)
# Set the R_STAN_BACKEND environment variable
Sys.setenv(R_STAN_BACKEND = "CMDSTANR")On Windows, R requires a compiler so you'll need to follow
the instructions provided by rstan. The key step is
installing Rtools before
attempting to install the package.
If you have custom Stan compiler settings, install from source rather than the CRAN binary.
Prophet is on PyPI, so you can use pip to install
it.
python -m pip install prophetAfter installation, you can get started!
Prophet can also be installed through conda-forge:
conda install -c conda-forge prophet.
To get the latest code changes as they are merged, you can clone this repo and build from source manually. This is not guaranteed to be stable.
git clone https://github.com/facebook/prophet.git
cd prophet/python
python -m pip install -e .By default, Prophet will use a fixed version of cmdstan
(downloading and installing it if necessary) to compile the model
executables. If this is undesired and you would like to use your own
existing cmdstan installation, you can set the environment
variable PROPHET_REPACKAGE_CMDSTAN to
False:
export PROPHET_REPACKAGE_CMDSTAN=False; python -m pip install -e .Make sure compilers (gcc, g++, build-essential) and Python development tools (python-dev, python3-dev) are installed. In Red Hat systems, install the packages gcc64 and gcc64-c++. If you are using a VM, be aware that you will need at least 4GB of memory to install prophet, and at least 2GB of memory to use prophet.
Using cmdstanpy with Windows requires a Unix-compatible
C compiler such as mingw-gcc. If cmdstanpy is installed first, one can
be installed via the cmdstanpy.install_cxx_toolchain
command.
