🌟 Facebook Prophet for Time Series Forecasting 🌟 In this article, I'll walk you through the statistical overview of Facebook Prophet, shedding light on its inner workings📈 FBProphet is used to model time series data as a combination of Trend (T), Seasonality(S), and Noise Terms (E) by also incorporating random fluctuations or Holiday effects that might influence forecasts. It comes in handy if our data has multiple shifts in trend or has multiple layers of seasonality and can also handle non-stationary data. Even though the algorithm is based on a curve-fitting approach, it also incorporates the sequential nature of data. Prophet uses Hierarchical Bayesian Framework meaning it works on providing best-fitting posterior distribution to estimate coefficients of Trend and Seasonality equations, thus generating probabilistic forecasts that account for uncertainty around the point forecasts. In the comments, please feel free to provide feedback on any areas where more detail or clarification could be beneficial. Your insights will help me enhance my understanding and refine the article accordingly. In future posts, I aim to explain in detail the statistical processes and terms mentioned in the article. #FBProphet #TimeSeries
