FORECAST¶
Fully-qualified name: SNOWFLAKE.ML.FORECAST
A forecast model produces a forecast for a single time series or for multiple time series. You use CREATE SNOWFLAKE.ML.FORECAST to create and train the forecasting model, then use the model’s <model_name>!FORECAST method to produce forecasts. The <model_name>!EXPLAIN_FEATURE_IMPORTANCE method provides information about how each feature in the training data influences the forecast. The <model_name>!SHOW_TRAINING_LOGS method provides error messages for any time series whose models failed to fit. The <model_name>!SHOW_EVALUATION_METRICS method provides evaluation metrics on out-of-sample data.
