Overview

About

Maintained by Mike TokicFirst published 2022-02-0711 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Automated time series forecasting developed by Microsoft Finance. The Microsoft Finance Time Series Forecasting Framework, aka Finn, can be used to forecast any component of the income statement, balance sheet, or any other area of interest by finance. Any numerical quantity over time, Finn can be used to forecast it. While it can be applied outside of the finance domain, Finn was built to meet the needs of financial analysts to better forecast their businesses within a company, and has a lot of built in features that are specific to the needs of financial forecasters. Happy forecasting!

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 dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-finnts

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 \
