Ensemble Models

Ensemble models are trained on predictions made by individual models. For example, a glmnet ensemble model takes forecasts made by each individual model and feeds them as training data into a glmnet model.

Leveraging the Tidymodels Framework

Most of the models within the package are built on a fantastic time series library called modeltime, which was built on top tidymodels. Tidymodels is a fantastic series of packages that help in feature engineering (recipes), hyperparameter tuning (tune), model training (parsnip), and back testing (resample). Big shout out to the modeltime and tidymodels teams for being the shoulders this package stands on!
