# User Notice

The default page of the repo is on `dev` branch. To install the dev version, please check the section `Installing from Dev Branch`. If you are looking for a **stable version**, please refer to the `master` branch [here](https://github.com/uber/orbit/tree/master).


# Disclaimer

This project

- is stable and being incubated for long-term support. It may contain new experimental code, for which APIs are subject to change.
- requires [cmdstanpy](https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanpy/) as one of the core dependencies for Bayesian sampling.

# Orbit: A Python Package for Bayesian Forecasting

Orbit is a Python package for Bayesian time series forecasting and inference. It provides a
familiar and intuitive initialize-fit-predict interface for time series tasks, while utilizing probabilistic programming languages under the hood.

For details, check out our documentation and tutorials:
- HTML (stable): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- HTML (latest): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Currently, it supports concrete implementations for the following models:

-  Exponential Smoothing (ETS)
-  Local Global Trend (LGT)
-  Damped Local Trend (DLT)
-  Kernel Time-based Regression (KTR)

It also supports the following sampling/optimization methods for model estimation/inferences:

-  Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) as a full sampling method
-  Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) as a point estimate method
-  Variational Inference (VI) as a hybrid-sampling method on approximate
   distribution


##  Installation

### Installing Stable Release

Install the library either from PyPi or from the source with `pip`. 
Alternatively, you can also install it from Anaconda with `conda`:

**With pip**

1. Installing from PyPI

   ```sh
   $ pip install orbit-ml
   ```

2. Install from source

   ```sh
   $ git clone https://github.com/uber/orbit.git
   $ cd orbit
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   $ pip install .
   ```

**With conda**

The library can be installed from the conda-forge channel using conda.

```sh
$ conda install -c conda-forge orbit-ml
```

### Installing from Dev Branch

```sh
$ pip install git+https://github.com/uber/orbit.git@dev
```

## Quick Start with Damped-Local-Trend (DLT) Model

### FULL Bayesian Prediction

```python
from orbit.utils.dataset import load_iclaims
from orbit.models import DLT
from orbit.diagnostics.plot import plot_predicted_data

# log-transformed data
df = load_iclaims()
# train-test split
test_size = 52
train_df = df[:-test_size]
test_df = df[-test_size:]

dlt = DLT(
  response_col='claims', date_col='week',
  regressor_col=['trend.unemploy', 'trend.filling', 'trend.job'],
  seasonality=52,
)
dlt.fit(df=train_df)

# outcomes data frame
predicted_df = dlt.predict(df=test_df)

plot_predicted_data(
  training_actual_df=train_df, predicted_df=predicted_df,
  date_col=dlt.date_col, actual_col=dlt.response_col,
  test_actual_df=test_df
)
```
