Time Series with PyTorch

We have covered a lot of ground here, and we hope that you can now see that understanding and applying evaluative processes appropriately is the bedrock of good forecasting practice. Selecting the best model and tuning models requires careful splitting of data, to avoid information leakage, although often we are constrained by the reality of computational resources and time. But data splitting is just one aspect of evaluation; how you compare the performance of models by understanding the metrics and how to use them is critical.
We examined how evaluation practices have evolved from simple train-test splits to more sophisticated CV techniques, such as expanding and rolling windows. We also explored intrinsic error metrics, including the AE and SE, along with their various derivations.
We discussed the controversial nature of percentage-based errors such as the MAPE and considered alternative approaches that address their well-known limitations. In addition, we introduced...
