xgboost VS Prophet

My rescue came from discovering some of the alternatives to ARIMA/SARIMA, which was the extent of what we had covered for time series data. A series of searches eventually led me to some automated time series analysis packages, one of which was Prophet, an open source time series package released by Facebook's core data science team. This was a life saver, being a much more efficient and more effective forecasting tool than sloooowly iterating through ARIMA/SARIMA models that seemed to want to fight with me. If you're going to do a time series analysis for your capstone, I strongly suggest taking a look at using Prophet.

Prophet: Automação preditiva.

Prophet - It is a time-series forecasting library built by Facebook. Prophet is a procedure for forecasting time series data based on an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data. Prophet is robust to missing data and shifts in the trend, and typically handles outliers well. Link - https://github.com/facebook/prophet

We run an anomaly detection app powered by Facebook's Prophet forecasting library. It tells us if metrics dip or rise in unexpected ways ("Did signups drop? Is something broken with that flow?"). We built the service because customers kept reaching out to tell us some feature broke before we noticed. Normally these issues show up in product data, so the app looks for these anomalies and tells us when they happen.
