Creates an Amazon Forecast predictor¶
Description¶
Creates an Amazon Forecast predictor.
Amazon Forecast creates predictors with AutoPredictor, which involves
applying the optimal combination of algorithms to each time series in
your datasets. You can use create_auto_predictor
to create new
predictors or upgrade/retrain existing predictors.
Creating new predictors
The following parameters are required when creating a new predictor:
-
PredictorName
- A unique name for the predictor. -
DatasetGroupArn
- The ARN of the dataset group used to train the predictor. -
ForecastFrequency
- The granularity of your forecasts (hourly, daily, weekly, etc). -
ForecastHorizon
- The number of time-steps that the model predicts. The forecast horizon is also called the prediction length.
When creating a new predictor, do not specify a value for
ReferencePredictorArn
.
Upgrading and retraining predictors
The following parameters are required when retraining or upgrading a predictor:
-
PredictorName
- A unique name for the predictor. -
ReferencePredictorArn
- The ARN of the predictor to retrain or upgrade.
When upgrading or retraining a predictor, only specify values for the
ReferencePredictorArn
and PredictorName
.
Usage¶
forecastservice_create_auto_predictor(PredictorName, ForecastHorizon,
ForecastTypes, ForecastDimensions, ForecastFrequency, DataConfig,
EncryptionConfig, ReferencePredictorArn, OptimizationMetric,
ExplainPredictor, Tags, MonitorConfig, TimeAlignmentBoundary)
Arguments¶
PredictorName
[required] A unique name for the predictor
ForecastHorizon
The number of time-steps that the model predicts. The forecast horizon is also called the prediction length.
The maximum forecast horizon is the lesser of 500 time-steps or 1/4 of the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset length. If you are retraining an existing AutoPredictor, then the maximum forecast horizon is the lesser of 500 time-steps or 1/3 of the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset length.
If you are upgrading to an AutoPredictor or retraining an existing AutoPredictor, you cannot update the forecast horizon parameter. You can meet this requirement by providing longer time-series in the dataset.
ForecastTypes
The forecast types used to train a predictor. You can specify up to five forecast types. Forecast types can be quantiles from 0.01 to 0.99, by increments of 0.01 or higher. You can also specify the mean forecast with
mean
.ForecastDimensions
An array of dimension (field) names that specify how to group the generated forecast.
For example, if you are generating forecasts for item sales across all your stores, and your dataset contains a
store_id
field, you would specifystore_id
as a dimension to group sales forecasts for each store.ForecastFrequency
The frequency of predictions in a forecast.
Valid intervals are an integer followed by Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), and min (Minute). For example, "1D" indicates every day and "15min" indicates every 15 minutes. You cannot specify a value that would overlap with the next larger frequency. That means, for example, you cannot specify a frequency of 60 minutes, because that is equivalent to 1 hour. The valid values for each frequency are the following:
Minute - 1-59
Hour - 1-23
Day - 1-6
Week - 1-4
Month - 1-11
Year - 1
Thus, if you want every other week forecasts, specify "2W". Or, if you want quarterly forecasts, you specify "3M".
The frequency must be greater than or equal to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.
When a RELATED_TIME_SERIES dataset is provided, the frequency must be equal to the RELATED_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.
DataConfig
The data configuration for your dataset group and any additional datasets.
EncryptionConfig
ReferencePredictorArn
The ARN of the predictor to retrain or upgrade. This parameter is only used when retraining or upgrading a predictor. When creating a new predictor, do not specify a value for this parameter.
When upgrading or retraining a predictor, only specify values for the
ReferencePredictorArn
andPredictorName
. The value forPredictorName
must be a unique predictor name.OptimizationMetric
The accuracy metric used to optimize the predictor.
ExplainPredictor
Create an Explainability resource for the predictor.
Tags
Optional metadata to help you categorize and organize your predictors. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
The following restrictions apply to tags:
For each resource, each tag key must be unique and each tag key must have one value.
Maximum number of tags per resource: 50.
Maximum key length: 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
Maximum value length: 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.
Accepted characters: all letters and numbers, spaces representable in UTF-8, and + - = . _ : / @. If your tagging schema is used across other services and resources, the character restrictions of those services also apply.
Key prefixes cannot include any upper or lowercase combination of
aws:
orAWS:
. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value hasaws
as its prefix but the key does not, Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix ofaws
do not count against your tags per resource limit. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix.
MonitorConfig
The configuration details for predictor monitoring. Provide a name for the monitor resource to enable predictor monitoring.
Predictor monitoring allows you to see how your predictor's performance changes over time. For more information, see Predictor Monitoring.
TimeAlignmentBoundary
The time boundary Forecast uses to align and aggregate any data that doesn't align with your forecast frequency. Provide the unit of time and the time boundary as a key value pair. For more information on specifying a time boundary, see Specifying a Time Boundary. If you don't provide a time boundary, Forecast uses a set of Default Time Boundaries.
