The DeepCAR Method: Forecasting Time-Series Data That Have Change Points

Ayla Jungbluth, Johannes Lederer

Many methods for time-series forecasting are known in classical statistics, such as autoregression, moving averages, and exponential smoothing. The DeepAR framework is a novel, recent approach for time-series forecasting based on deep learning. DeepAR has shown very promising results already. However, time series often have change points, which can degrade the DeepAR's prediction performance substantially. This paper extends the DeepAR framework by detecting and including those change points. We show that our method performs as well as standard DeepAR when there are no change points and considerably better when there are change points. More generally, we show that the batch size provides an effective and surprisingly simple way to deal with change points in DeepAR, Transformers, and other modern forecasting models.
