Predicting time series data with Forecast

[86/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I predicted future power consumption based on time series data uploaded to S3 in form of csv file using Forecast.

Amazon Forecast is a time-series forecasting service based on machine learning (ML) and built for business metrics analysis.

Use cases:

  • Retail and inventory forecasting
    • Reduce waste, increase inventory turns, and improve in-stock availability by forecasting product demand at specific probability levels
  • Workforce planning
    • Forecast workforce staffing at 15-minute increments to optimize for high and low demand periods
  • Travel demand forecasting
    • Forecast foot traffic, visitor counts, and channel demand to more efficiently manage operating costs

You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below: GitHub
