**📢 BREAKING NEWS**: We released **Chronos**, a suite of pretrained models for zero-shot time series forecasting. Chronos can generate accurate probabilistic predictions for new time series not seen during training. Check it out [here](https://github.com/amazon-science/chronos-forecasting)!



GluonTS is a Python package for probabilistic time series modeling, focusing on deep learning based models,

based on [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org) and [MXNet](https://mxnet.apache.org).



## Installation



GluonTS requires Python 3.7 or newer, and the easiest way to install it is via

`pip`:



```bash

# install with support for torch models

pip install "gluonts[torch]"



# install with support for mxnet models

pip install "gluonts[mxnet]"

```



See the [documentation](https://ts.gluon.ai/stable/getting_started/install.html)

for more info on how GluonTS can be installed.



## Simple Example



To illustrate how to use GluonTS, we train a DeepAR-model and make predictions

using the airpassengers dataset. The dataset consists of a single time

series of monthly passenger numbers between 1949 and 1960. We train the model

on the first nine years and make predictions for the remaining three years.



```py

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt



from gluonts.dataset.pandas import PandasDataset

from gluonts.dataset.split import split

from gluonts.torch import DeepAREstimator



# Load data from a CSV file into a PandasDataset

df = pd.read_csv(

    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AileenNielsen/"

    "TimeSeriesAnalysisWithPython/master/data/AirPassengers.csv",

    index_col=0,

    parse_dates=True,

)

dataset = PandasDataset(df, target="#Passengers")



# Split the data for training and testing

training_data, test_gen = split(dataset, offset=-36)

test_data = test_gen.generate_instances(prediction_length=12, windows=3)



# Train the model and make predictions

model = DeepAREstimator(

    prediction_length=12, freq="M", trainer_kwargs={"max_epochs": 5}

).train(training_data)



forecasts = list(model.predict(test_data.input))



# Plot predictions

plt.plot(df["1954":], color="black")

for forecast in forecasts:

  forecast.plot()

plt.legend(["True values"], loc="upper left", fontsize="xx-large")

plt.show()

```

Note, the forecasts are displayed in terms of a probability distribution and

the shaded areas represent the 50% and 90% prediction intervals.
