Prophet 6 Init Patch

[Landerico Benson]

In Python, models should not be saved with pickle; the Stan backend attached to the model object will not pickle well, and will produce issues under certain versions of Python. Instead, you should use the built-in serialization functions to serialize the model to json:

For time series that exhibit strong seasonality patterns rather than trend changes, or when we want to rely on the pattern of exogenous regressors (e.g. for causal inference with time series), it may be useful to force the trend growth rate to be flat. This can be achieved simply by passing growth='flat' when creating the model:

In this example, the target sensor values can be mostly explained by the exogenous regressor (a nearby sensor). The model with linear growth assumes an increasing trend and this leads to larger and larger over-predictions in the test period, while the flat growth model mostly follows movements in the exogenous regressor and this results in a sizeable MAPE improvement.

Note that forecasting with exogenous regressors is only effective when we can be confident in the future values of the regressor. The example above is relevant to causal inference using time series, where we want to understand what y would have looked like for a past time period, and hence the exogenous regressor values are known.

To use a trend besides these three built-in trend functions (piecewise linear, piecewise logistic growth, and flat), you can download the source code from github, modify the trend function as desired in a local branch, and then install that local version. This PR provides a good illustration of what must be done to implement a custom trend, as does this one that implements a step function trend and this one for a new trend in R.

As can be seen, the parameters from the previous model are passed in to the fitting for the next with the kwarg init. In this case, model fitting was about 5x faster when using warm starting. The speedup will generally depend on how much the optimal model parameters have changed with the addition of the new data.

There are few caveats that should be kept in mind when considering warm-starting. First, warm-starting may work well for small updates to the data (like the addition of one day in the example above) but can be worse than fitting from scratch if there are large changes to the data (i.e., a lot of days have been added). This is because when a large amount of history is added, the location of the changepoints will be very different between the two models, and so the parameters from the previous model may actually produce a bad trend initialization. Second, as a detail, the number of changepoints need to be consistent from one model to the next or else an error will be raised because the changepoint prior parameter delta will be the wrong size.

Before model fitting, Prophet scales y by dividing by the maximum value in the history. For datasets with very large y values, the scaled y values may be compressed to a very small range (i.e. [0.99999... - 1.0]), which causes a bad fit. This can be fixed by setting scaling='minmax' in the Prophet constructor.

I'm trying to install the FBProphet module on my MacOS 10.15.5 with Python 3.10.10.After succesfully installing the package through pip I tried importing the module (from prophet import Prophet) but was struck with this error message:

Desert Strikers are the foot soldiers and trackers of the Klind Empire. They are dedicated to the teachings of Set and to their High Priest. Desert Strikers prefer to set up ambushes and strike targets unaware, often flanking their foes and pelting them with arrows (there is a 15% that a Desert Strikers has 1d4 arrows laced with Asp venom (DCC, pg 446). Desert Strikers all wear Bio-Organic Armor Type III (see description below).

The Klind Flesh Weavers are responsible for forming and growing the strange bio-organic armor that most of the Klind wear. Aside from their armor looking slightly more ornate than most other Klind, it is their serpent staff that shows their station. While not as skilled in combat as a Desert Striker or the elite Venomous Red Scales, a Flesh Weaver is able to hold their own. While growing the bio-organic armor takes extreme concentration and patience, the Flesh Weaver is able to use their abilities in combat. If a Flesh Weaver concentrates on a target for 3 rounds, that target must succeed a DC 14 Fort Save or have some part of their flesh warped. Roll 1d14 for effect: 1) Legs are fused together; 2) Eye lids are sealed; 3) Lips disappear; 4) Arms fuse together; 5) Arm fuses to abdomen; 6) Leg atrophies; 7) Arm atrophies; 8) Skin takes on melted appearance; 9) Skin melts away on arm, exposing muscles; 10) Lips are fused together; 11) Face becomes stretched; 12) Fingers become fused together; 13) Toes become fused together; 14) Skin melts away on face, exposing muscles.

Klind Priests bring forth the message of Set unto the masses. They cast dark rituals and offer sacrifices to their deviant god. Through the dark pact with Set, priests take on a serpentine appearance. Their eyes become that of a snake, their nostrils mere slits, and their mouths thin and stretched with small fangs. Priests are able to Invoke the Name of Set as a cleric would, receiving +5 to their roll.

These elite Klind warriors are a terrifying sight with their armor of red reptilian-like scales and covered in small barbs and hooks; their helmet resembles the head of a red asp of the Slithering Peaks. Very few see what is beneath the helmet, and even fewer have lived to describe.

To become a member of the Venomous Red Scales the initiate must travel to the Slithering Peaks and survive a bite from a Red Asp and then and take part in the Ritual of the Serpent, transforming them into a half man-half snake hybrid.

A Venomous Red Scale is able to deliver a bite attack that deals 1d6 damage. Those struck by the bite must succeed a DC 18 Fort save or die. If the target succeeds they suffer 2d6 Stamina damage and develop a high fever until healed naturally.

When I make a patch with two oscillators, the decision to place DDS 1 or 2 in the higher octave definitely makes a difference in how viscerally analog the patch sounds. And when I compare the filter-wide-open sound of DDS 1 to my Prophet, I literally cannot tell which one is analog and which is the FPGA. But DDS 2 sticks out a little bit like a sore thumb.

Something about that tip - using the sub as a beefy bass tone - opened my mind and made me realize how much thought has gone into these choices. I do not get that with other synth. I am starting to really enjoy bending this in ways I cannot with my analogs. At one point this week I had a patch going with 4 modulators, 1 using the Batt mod. The way every function of this synth has a couple of secret identities is brilliant. Using Env 1 as an LFO or an oscillator, The LFO as an oscillator or taking on the digital waves using the Batt mod. Doubling up the Envelopes to get more complex shapes or transients, it goes on.

I am also super confused by the If you wish to store the current configuration with no changes to the state, use "terraform init -reconfigure. What does the current configuration mean? It is what I have in the .tf file or it is the AWS resources I have set up?

I saw suggestions to install in advance this library on a cluster. But I start my workflow in a job cluster (not an all-purpose cluster) so there is no ability to install something in advance. Weird thing is that sometimes it's ok and sometimes not.

Similar to Kubernetes pods, job clusters are created on existing all-purpose clusters in Databricks. These job clusters are ephemeral and are terminated after the job completes. They are used to isolate the resources needed for a specific job or task from the resources of the main all-purpose cluster.

While it is possible to explicitly set up a library on a job cluster, the main purpose of a job cluster is to provide dedicated resources for a specific job or task. In contrast, all-purpose clusters in Databricks are long-lived and are used to run a wide variety of workloads, including interactive workloads, streaming, and batch processing jobs.

All-purpose clusters are optimized for general-purpose computing and typically include nodes that are optimized for CPU and memory-intensive workloads. They are designed to provide a flexible and scalable platform for running various types of workloads simultaneously.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can start by checking the job cluster logs to see if there are any error messages or exceptions related to the library installation. You can also try to manually install the library on the job cluster to see if it installs successfully. Additionally, you can check the network connectivity, dependencies, permissions, resources, compatibility, and package quality to ensure that they are not causing the issue.

A way to install libraries on your job cluster is to use init scripts. Init scripts are scripts that run when a cluster is started, and can be used to install libraries or perform other initialization tasks. To use an init script to install a library, you can create a script that installs the library using pip or other package managers, and then attach this script to your cluster as an init script. Example is below

on ambient light. The LEDs are in a hutch behind a 1/2-inch-thick glass shelf with a

curved, crescent-moon-shaped leading edge which glows green due to the LEDs

shining through from the back edge. When more ambient light is present, the LEDs

glow brighter. When less ambient light is available, they reduce brightness, thereby

keeping the leading edge of the glass pleasantly illuminated in all ambient light

conditions.

the minimum and maximum LED brightness limits. The LCD goes to sleep (power is

removed via a relay) when the menu is not being presented. The menu is invoked

by pressing a momentary-type tactile button. Everything in the project works,

except...

I've tracked the error to the "lcd.init()" statement. The sub_reconnectTheLCD() is also called from SETUP, and never fails in the SETUP calls. This only seems to fail when the program is running and the menu is invoked -- but again, most of the time, it works fine. I've introduced watchdog logic so that, when the "lcd.init()" statement hangs, the Uno reboots. But that's not very elegant, and I'd like to know how I can find out what's going wrong in the library code where "lcd.init()" is being executed. Here are my #include statements:
