Creating a Custom Special for Fable's TSLM Model to Extend Matrix from Training to Validation Period
Creating a Custom Special for Fable’s TSLM Model Extending Matrix from Training to Validation Period In the realm of time series forecasting, model complexity and flexibility are crucial for capturing underlying patterns and trends. The fable::TSLM function in R offers an efficient way to incorporate natural spline trend components into linear models, leveraging the tidyverts package system. However, when employing this method with a third-party function like ns() from the splines package, we encounter a challenge in extending the matrix from the training period to the validation period.
