## Package Functionality

There are _many_ R packages for working with Time Series data. Here's how `timetk` compares to the "tidy" time series R packages for data visualization, wrangling, and feature engineeering (those that leverage data frames or tibbles).

## Summary

Timetk is an amazing package that is part of the `modeltime` ecosystem for time series analysis and forecasting. The forecasting system is extensive, and it can take a long time to learn:

- Many algorithms
- Ensembling and Resampling
- Machine Learning
- Deep Learning
- Scalable Modeling: 10,000+ time series

Your probably thinking how am I ever going to learn time series forecasting. Here's the solution that will save you years of struggling.

### Time Series is Changing

Time series is changing. __Businesses now need 10,000+ time series forecasts every day.__ This is what I call a _High-Performance Time Series Forecasting System (HPTSF)_ - Accurate, Robust, and Scalable Forecasting.

__High-Performance Forecasting Systems will save companies by improving accuracy and scalability.__ Imagine what will happen to your career if you can provide your organization a "High-Performance Time Series Forecasting System" (HPTSF System).

### How to Learn High-Performance Time Series Forecasting

I teach how to build a HPTFS System in my [__High-Performance Time Series Forecasting Course__](https://university.business-science.io/p/ds4b-203-r-high-performance-time-series-forecasting). You will learn:

- __Time Series Machine Learning__ (cutting-edge) with `Modeltime` - 30+ Models (Prophet, ARIMA, XGBoost, Random Forest, & many more)
- __Deep Learning__ with `GluonTS` (Competition Winners)
- __Time Series Preprocessing__, Noise Reduction, & Anomaly Detection
- __Feature engineering__ using lagged variables & external regressors
- __Hyperparameter Tuning__
- __Time series cross-validation__
- __Ensembling__ Multiple Machine Learning & Univariate Modeling Techniques (Competition Winner)

## Acknowledgements

The `timetk` package wouldn't be possible without other amazing time series packages.

* [stats](https://rdrr.io/r/stats/stats-package.html) - Basically every `timetk` function that uses a period (frequency) argument owes it to `ts()`.
- `plot_acf_diagnostics()`: Leverages `stats::acf()`, `stats::pacf()` & `stats::ccf()`
- `plot_stl_diagnostics()`: Leverages `stats::stl()`
* [lubridate](https://lubridate.tidyverse.org/): `timetk` makes heavy use of `floor_date()`, `ceiling_date()`, and `duration()` for "time-based phrases".
- Add and Subtract Time (`%+time%` & `%-time%`): `"2012-01-01" %+time% "1 month 4 days"` uses `lubridate` to intelligently offset the day
* [xts](https://github.com/joshuaulrich/xts): Used to calculate periodicity and fast lag automation.
* [forecast (retired)](https://pkg.robjhyndman.com/forecast/): Possibly my favorite R package of all time. It's based on `ts`, and its predecessor is the `tidyverts` (`fable`, `tsibble`, `feasts`, and `fabletools`).
- The `ts_impute_vec()` function for low-level vectorized imputation using STL + Linear Interpolation uses `na.interp()` under the hood.
- The `ts_clean_vec()` function for low-level vectorized imputation using STL + Linear Interpolation uses `tsclean()` under the hood.
- Box Cox transformation `auto_lambda()` uses `BoxCox.Lambda()`.
* [tibbletime (retired)](https://business-science.github.io/tibbletime/): While `timetk` does not import `tibbletime`, it uses much of the innovative functionality to interpret time-based phrases:
- `tk_make_timeseries()` - Extends `seq.Date()` and `seq.POSIXt()` using a simple phase like "2012-02" to populate the entire time series from start to finish in February 2012.
- `filter_by_time()`, `between_time()` - Uses innovative endpoint detection from phrases like "2012"
- `slidify()` is basically `rollify()` using `slider` (see below).
* [slider](https://slider.r-lib.org/): A powerful R package that provides a `purrr`-syntax for complex rolling (sliding) calculations.
- `slidify()` uses `slider::pslide` under the hood.
- `slidify_vec()` uses `slider::slide_vec()` for simple vectorized rolls (slides).
* [padr](https://edwinth.github.io/padr/): Used for padding time series from low frequency to high frequency and filling in gaps.
- The `pad_by_time()` function is a wrapper for `padr::pad()`.
- See the `step_ts_pad()` to apply padding as a preprocessing recipe!
* [TSstudio](https://github.com/RamiKrispin/TSstudio): This is the best interactive time series visualization tool out there. It leverages the `ts` system, which is the same system the `forecast` R package uses. A ton of inspiration for visuals came from using `TSstudio`.
