Refit a NNETAR model

Applies a fitted NNETAR model to a new dataset.

# S3 method for class 'NNETAR'
refit(object, new_data, specials = NULL, reestimate = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object

A model for which forecasts are required.

new_data

A tsibble containing the time points and exogenous regressors to produce forecasts for.

specials

(passed by fabletools::forecast.mdl_df()).

reestimate

If TRUE, the networks will be initialized with random starting weights to suit the new data. If FALSE, for every network the best individual set of weights found in the pre-estimation process is used as the starting weight vector.

Value

A refitted model.

Examples

lung_deaths_male <- as_tsibble(mdeaths)
lung_deaths_female <- as_tsibble(fdeaths)

fit <- lung_deaths_male %>%
  model(NNETAR(value))

report(fit)
#> Series: value 
#> Model: NNAR(3,1,2)[12] 
#> 
#> Average of 20 networks, each of which is
#> a 4-2-1 network with 13 weights
#> options were - linear output units 
#> 
#> sigma^2 estimated as 20396

fit %>%
  refit(new_data = lung_deaths_female, reestimate = FALSE) %>%
  report()
