The Demonstration:
The video walks through a practical example of leveraging Ready Signal’s external data in conjunction with DataRobot’s time series capabilities. The presenter demonstrates a no-code approach, emphasizing the ease with which users can integrate external data into their forecasting models.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Accessing External Data: The presenter logs into Ready Signal and accesses a signal with 34 external features, including economic indicators, weather, and demographic data.
- Data Extraction: The external data is easily extracted as a flat file, enabling users to seamlessly blend it with their existing internal data. (also available via API)
- Data Integration: The presenter illustrates the process of joining the external data from Ready Signal with the original dataset, adding 34 additional columns for a more comprehensive set of features.
- Model Training: Two sets of models are trained – one with only the original private data and another with the additional external data from Ready Signal.
- Results Analysis: DataRobot’s automated processes yield models with varying levels of accuracy. The presenter compares the model’s performance, revealing a remarkable 13% improvement in Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) when external data is integrated.
Key Findings:
The video highlights key findings from the analysis, displaying the impact of external data on forecast accuracy. Notable contributors to the improvement include weighted influenza-like illness national summary, actual rainfall, and foreign exchange rates.
