# Orbit: A Python Package for Bayesian Forecasting

Orbit is a Python package for Bayesian time series forecasting and inference. It provides a
familiar and intuitive initialize-fit-predict interface for time series tasks, while utilizing probabilistic programming languages under the hood.

For details, check out our documentation and tutorials:
- HTML (stable): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- HTML (latest): https://orbit-ml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Currently, it supports concrete implementations for the following
models:

-  Exponential Smoothing (ETS)
-  Damped Local Trend (DLT)
-  Local Global Trend (LGT)
-  Kernel Time-based Regression (KTR-Lite)

It also supports the following sampling methods for
model estimation:

-  Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) as a full sampling method
-  Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) as a point estimate method
-  Variational Inference (VI) as a hybrid-sampling method on approximate
   distribution


##  Installation
### Installing Stable Release

Install from PyPi:
```shell
$ pip install orbit-ml
```

Install from source:
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/uber/orbit.git
$ cd orbit
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install .
```

### Installing from Dev Branch
```shell
$ pip install git+https://github.com/uber/orbit.git@dev
```

## Quick Start with Damped-Local-Trend (DLT) Model
### FULL Bayesian Prediction

```python
from orbit.utils.dataset import load_iclaims
from orbit.models.dlt import DLTFull
from orbit.diagnostics.plot import plot_predicted_data

# log-transformed data
df = load_iclaims()
# train-test split
test_size = 52
train_df = df[:-test_size]
test_df = df[-test_size:]

dlt = DLTFull(
    response_col='claims', date_col='week',
    regressor_col=['trend.unemploy', 'trend.filling', 'trend.job'],
    seasonality=52,
)
dlt.fit(df=train_df)

# outcomes data frame
predicted_df = dlt.predict(df=test_df)

plot_predicted_data(
    training_actual_df=train_df, predicted_df=predicted_df,
    date_col=dlt.date_col, actual_col=dlt.response_col,
    test_actual_df=test_df
)
```
