Time-series modeling

Availability information

Time series modeling is not currently available for DataRobot Self Service users.

Time-series modeling is a recommended practice for data science problems where conditions may change over time. With this method, the validation set is made up of observations from a time window outside of (and more recent than) the time window used for model training. Time-aware modeling can make predictions on a single row, or, with its core time series functionality, can extract patterns from recent history and forecast multiple events into the future.
