What is Facebook Prophet and how does it work? Facebook Prophet is an open-source algorithm for generating time-series models that uses a few old ideas with some new twists . It is particularly good at modeling time series that have multiple seasonalities and doesn’t face some of the above drawbacks of other algorithms.
Read moreIs Prophet Good for forecasting?
One major advantage with Prophet is that it does not require much prior knowledge of forecasting time series data as it can automatically find seasonal trends with a set of data and offers easy to understand parameters.
