Overview

About

Maintained by Daniele GirolimettoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Nonlinear forecast reconciliation with machine learning in cross-sectional (Spiliotis et al. 2021 doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2021.107756), temporal, and cross-temporal (Rombouts et al. 2024 doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2024.05.008) frameworks.

Changes in 1.1.1

Reworked the print() and summary() methods for rml_fit objects, which now return a more informative, structured overview of the fitted reconciliation (framework, machine-learning approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix and trained models).
csrml(), terml() and ctrml() now validate their arguments more strictly and fail with informative error messages that state the expected value and report the one actually supplied.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("FoRecoML", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("danigiro/FoRecoML")

Development version from danigiro/FoRecoML. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-forecoml

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-FoRecoML

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-FoRecoML

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
