Tuning Parameters for Time Series (ts-class) Models

Usage

seasonal_period(values = c("none", "daily", "weekly", "yearly"))

Arguments

values

A time-based phrase

Details

Time series models (e.g. Arima() and ets()) use stats::ts() or forecast::msts() to apply seasonality. We can do the same process using the following general time series parameter:

  • period: The periodic nature of the seasonality.

It's usually best practice to not tune this parameter, but rather set to obvious values based on the seasonality of the data:

  • Daily Seasonality: Often used with hourly data (e.g. 24 hourly timestamps per day)

  • Weekly Seasonality: Often used with daily data (e.g. 7 daily timestamps per week)

  • Yearly Seasonalty: Often used with weekly, monthly, and quarterly data (e.g. 12 monthly observations per year).

However, in the event that users want to experiment with period tuning, you can do so with seasonal_period().

Examples

seasonal_period()
#> Period (Seasonal Frequency)  (qualitative)
#> 4 possible values include:
#> 'none', 'daily', 'weekly' and 'yearly'
