It provides automatic model selection and fitting for ARIMA, ETS, CES, Theta, and related methods, optimized for speed and accuracy. The library includes both point forecasts and probabilistic forecasts with confidence intervals, supports exogenous variables and static covariates, and integrates with distributed computing frameworks (Spark, Dask, Ray) for scaling to large numbers of time series.\n\nThe package is designed for production forecasting and benchmarking scenarios where speed and accuracy matter. It uses sklearn-like syntax (fit/predict) and includes utilities for anomaly detection, cross-validation, and handling multiple seasonalities. Dependencies include numpy, pandas, scipy, and statsmodels for core statistical computation, plus utilities for parallel processing and data handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. StatsForecast is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a mature, well-documented suite of statistical forecasting models with strong performance characteristics. The permissive Apache license and broad Python version support (3.10\u20133.14) make it low-risk. Install friction is moderate due to multiple dependencies, but pre-built wheels and active maintenance mitigate this. Suitable for production forecasting and benchmarking work."},"id":"statsforecast","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statsforecast","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statsforecast.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/statsforecast/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"statsforecast","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Time series forecasting suite using statistical models"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1895194,"position":3454,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.1"}
