This document provides a very brief introduction to the Prophet API. For a detailed guide on using Prophet, please visit the main site at https://facebook.github.io/prophet/.
Prophet uses the normal model fitting API. We provide a prophet function that performs fitting and returns a model object. You can then call predict and plot on this model object.
First we read in the data and create the outcome variable.
library(readr)
df <- read_csv('../tests/testthat/data.csv')
#> Parsed with column specification:
#> cols(
#> ds = col_date(format = ""),
#> y = col_double()
#> )
We call the prophet function to fit the model. The first argument is the historical dataframe. Additional arguments control how Prophet fits the data.
m <- prophet(df)
#> Disabling daily seasonality. Run prophet with daily.seasonality=TRUE to override this.
We need to construct a dataframe for prediction. The make_future_dataframe function takes the model object and a number of periods to forecast:
future <- make_future_dataframe(m, periods = 365)
head(future)
#> ds
#> 1 2012-05-18
#> 2 2012-05-21
#> 3 2012-05-22
#> 4 2012-05-23
#> 5 2012-05-24
#> 6 2012-05-25
As with most modeling procedures in R, we use the generic predict function to get our forecast:
forecast <- predict(m, future)
head(forecast)

You can use the generic plot function to plot the forecast, but you must also pass the model in to be plotted:
plot(m, forecast)
You can plot the components of the forecast using the prophet_plot_components function:
prophet_plot_components(m, forecast)
