Review of Open-Source Libraries for Solving Time Series Forecasting Problems

93

Abstract

An overview of various open-source Python libraries for time series analysis and forecasting is presented. It covers such tools as Prophet, Kats, Merlion, as well as ARIMA, LSTM algorithms, which allow to study seasonality, trends and anomalies in time series data. The capabilities of each library, their advantages and applications in time series data analysis are discussed in detail.
