    Continuously Trained Vector Autoregressive Forecast (CTVARF) for multiple time-series influenced by common factors and hidden components.

    Overview

    The continuously trained vector autoregressive forecast (CTVARF) model is to forecast large set of time-series based always on the latest updated model trained by the latest available data. The time-series are assumed to be influenced by histories of a set of unobserved factors commonly affecting all or many of the time-series and by histories of hidden components affecting idiosyncratic components of the individual time-series. By applying objective data-driven constraints, the CTVARF algorithm can estimate the influences of longer histories of the unobserved common factors and hidden idiosyncratic components. Therefore, the algorithm enhances the power of machine learning. Continuous training is carried out by rolling data window moving forward and by implementation of "trained model (artifacts) feedback loop". Current version of the CTVARF algorithm estimates forecasts of common and idiosyncratic components and forecasts of the time-series; and goodness scores of the forecasts.

    Highlights

    • WHY “Vector Autoregression (VAR)”? Many social (trends, polls), sport (scores), economic (indicators), business (sales), natural, and engineering events can be represented quantitatively by (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) time-series. Researches and reports demonstrate that many of these time-series interact one another directly or through underlying common factors and many time-series are influenced by their own histories as well. VAR model is the simplest model trying to find out predictive model of linear, mutual and temporal causalities underlying these time-series.
    • WHY “Long Memory VAR”? The estimation engine underlying CTVARF algorithm is “long memory vector autoregressive (LMVAR)” model. The LMVAR estimates influences of longer histories of common factors and idiosyncratic components of time-series with objective data-driven constraints. Without constraints, “estimated influences of long histories” can be contaminated by various random coincidences and lack of any predictability. The data-driven constraints make CTVARF accommodate wider ranges of values of model learning parameters, and therefore further enhance the power of machine learning.
    • WHY “trained model feedback loop”? To make forecasts based always on the latest updated model trained by the latest available data, we use a “continuously trained” model estimated on rolling data windows moving forward to the last time stamp of the available data. What if newly available data points arrive after training ended? With trained model feedback loop, we feed both the newly available data and the previously trained model into a new model training process. This way makes model fitting and updating efficiently by only applying them to data windows containing the new data.

    Amazon SageMaker algorithm

    An Amazon SageMaker algorithm is a machine learning model that requires your training data to make predictions. Use the included training algorithm to generate your unique model artifact. Then deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.

    Deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker AI using the following options:
    Before deploying the model, train it with your data using the algorithm training process. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during training. Duration depends on the algorithm, instance type, and training data size. When training completes, the model artifacts save to your Amazon S3 bucket. These artifacts load into the model when you deploy for real-time inference or batch processing. For more information, see Use an Algorithm to Run a Training Job  .
    Deploy the model as an API endpoint for your applications. When you send data to the endpoint, SageMaker processes it and returns results by API response. The endpoint runs continuously until you delete it. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs while the endpoint runs. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Deploy models for real-time inference  .
    Deploy the model to process batches of data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). SageMaker runs the job, processes your data, and returns results to Amazon S3. When complete, SageMaker stops the model. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during the batch job. Duration depends on your model, instance type, and dataset size. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Batch transform for inference with Amazon SageMaker AI  .
    Version release notes

    CTVARF algorithm is to forecast large set of time-series based always on the latest updated model trained by the latest available data. The time-series are influenced by unobserved common factors and hidden idiosyncratic components. Current version of the CTVARF algorithm estimates: (a) forecasts of common and idiosyncratic components of the base case (all time-series are standardized in time domain), (b) the vector time-series forecasts according to the requested specification, (c) forecasts per unit of variability of time-series, and (d) goodness scores of the vector time-series forecasts.

    Inputs

    Summary

    The CTVARF algorithm takes, as input data, multiple time-series data contained in a CSV (comma separated value) data table, in a format of a CSV text-string or a CSV text-file.

    Each row of the data table is for values of an individual time-series (TS). Row header is the label or symbol of the time-series. Each column is for values of all time-series at a specific moment in time. Column header is the time-index or time-stamp of the moment.

    Values of time stamp
    Each row of the data table is for values of an individual time-series (TS). Row header is the label or symbol of the time-series. Each column is for values of all time-series at a specific moment in time. Column header is the time-index or time-stamp of the moment. The first data column is for the earliest time and the last column for the most recent time. The current version of CTVARF requires equally spaced time-stamps.
