Time Series Clustering based on forecast densities: Enhance TSclust package by adding automatic forecasting functionalities in the forecast package #13

Open pmontman opened 6 years ago

pmontman commented 6 years ago

One way of defining similarity between two time series is by comparing their respective forecast densities at a given horizon. See Alonso et al., (2006) for an extended explanation of the underlying principle.

The TSclust R package for time series clustering supports several methods in this family, but its functionality and ease of use could be greatly expanded by using some methods in the forecast R package.

A simple TO-DO list for this project would be:

  1. Discuss the best way of integrating forecast, e.g. by wrapping some methods, accepting forecast objects,...
  2. Implement the changes in TSclust.
