## About

[Method](/about/licenses.md)

Implements a probabilistic ensemble time-series forecaster that combines an auto-encoder with a neural decision forest whose split variables are learned through a differentiable feature-mask layer. Functions are written with 'torch' tensors and provide CRPS (Continuous Ranked Probability Scores) training plus mixture-distribution post-processing.

## Downloads

[Method](/about/downloads.md)

- Downloads in the last 30 days: 194 (down 26% on the 30 days before, the worse direction. It is the sum of 3 channels: CRAN, r2u and autoCRAN.)

CRAN alone: rank among CRAN packages, last 30 days: 23,577 of 26,530.

| Channel | Downloads in the last 30 days | In the total | Rank in that channel | Change |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- |
| CRAN | 189 | yes | 23,577 of 26,530 | down 22.9% on the 30 days before, the worse direction |
| r2u | 3 | yes | 11,992 of 30,526 | down 50% on the 30 days before, the worse direction |
| autoCRAN | 2 | yes | 22,452 of 29,212 | down 81.8% on the 30 days before, the worse direction |

Other windows: [Last 90 days](/cran/temper.md?win=90d#downloads), [Last 365 days](/cran/temper.md?win=365d#downloads), [All time](/cran/temper.md?win=all#downloads).

To leave channels out of the total, name them in the address, joined by dots: `?off=r2u.autocran`.

#### Over time

Downloads over time, the last 12 whole months:

| Month | CRAN | r2u | autoCRAN | Sum |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Sep 2025 | 118 | 21 | no figure | 139 |
| Oct 2025 | 178 | 2 | no figure | 180 |
| Nov 2025 | 98 | 2 | no figure | 100 |
| Dec 2025 | 115 | 9 | no figure | 124 |
| Jan 2026 | 124 | 2 | no figure | 126 |
| Feb 2026 | 129 | 4 | no figure | 133 |
| Mar 2026 | 176 | no figure | no figure | 176 |
| Apr 2026 | 46 | 11 | no figure | 57 |
| May 2026 | no figure | 7 | no figure | 7 |
| Jul 2026 | 120 | 10 | no figure | 130 |
| Aug 2026 | 170 | 8 | 26 | 204 |
| Sep 2026 | 242 | no figure | 9 | 251 |

First day on record: CRAN 15 Jul 2025, r2u 17 Jul 2025, autoCRAN 2 Jul 2026.

Every channel here counts downloads, so the channels can be stacked and summed for one period. Each channel counts in its own way and covers a different span of years, so read a sum as a rough total, and read a rise where a channel begins as that channel starting, not as growth.

Weeks start on Monday. A first or last week or month that the channel does not cover in full is left out, so every point is a whole period.

Days with no record add nothing to their week or month. For a little-used package that is usually a day with no downloads, but it can also be a gap in collection.
