BigQuery ML forecast using ARIMA_PLUS (mostly) ignores the holiday effect

问题

以下是您要翻译的内容:

"I'm trying to forecast daily sales for a business using the past 5 years of daily sales history. This business has very clear holiday sales patterns, including zero sales on Easter/Thanksgiving/Christmas and unusually high sales on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, etc.

Only two dates in the resulting model that have a non-zero holiday effect: December 23 and President's Day. I cannot figure out why.

I'm using the ARIMA_PLUS model type in BigQuery ML, with the holiday_region set to 'US'. The data is simply date and sales.

An example of an obvious forecasting error is that April 9, 2023 (Easter) is forecasted as a normal sales day (instead of zero), and April 17, 2023 is forecasted to be zero. The business was closed on April 17, 2022 due to Easter, so the model is clearly ignoring the Easter holiday and providing an inaccurate forecast as a result.

I used the EXPLAIN_FORECAST function to see if any days had a holiday effect, which is where I found it was just December 23 and President's Day. There were adjustments for those two days across each of the five years of history. The holiday_effect field was zero for the rest of the dates.

Any idea why the model ignores all holidays except these two? Is this a defect in BigQuery ML, or is there something wrong with my setup?"

请告诉我如果您需要进一步的帮助。

CREATE OR REPLACE MODEL `model_name`
OPTIONS(MODEL_TYPE='ARIMA_PLUS',
    time_series_timestamp_col='date',
    time_series_data_col='sales',
    data_frequency='DAILY',
    holiday_region='US') AS
( SELECT date, sales FROM `table_name`);

SELECT * FROM ML.EXPLAIN_FORECAST(MODEL `model_name`, STRUCT(14 AS horizon, 0.8 AS confidence_level));

2023-04-17的下降可能是由于YEARLY季节性效应导致的。

在您的模型创建设置中,SEASONALITY默认为AUTO。鉴于您的数据频率是DAILY,时间序列长度超过了2年,它将自动推断SEASONALITYWEEKLYYEARLY。确实是YEARLY 季节性捕捉到了这次从2022年开始的下降。

为了解决这个问题,您可以在OPTIONS子句中显式设置SEASONALITY = ['WEEKLY'],以避免使用YEARLY 季节性建模。

英文:

The dip on 2023-04-17 might be a result of YEARLY seasonality effect.

In your model creation setting, SEASONALITY is default to AUTO. Given that your data frequency is DAILY and time series length is longer than 2 years, it will automatically infer the SEASONALITY as WEEKLY and YEARLY. It is indeed the YEARLY seasonality that captures the dip from 2022 this time.

To workaround that, you can set SEASONALITY = ['WEEKLY'] in OPTIONS clause explicitly to avoid modeling with YEARLY seasonality.
