Hi rennyjosetm,

Could you clarify which of the three recipes you are trying to use from the Forecast plugin when you get this error? Also, can you share a screenshot of your recipe settings page? 

From the error provided, it's expecting a true/false value from one of your columns but getting a null value instead. You may want to review your input datasets to make sure that the data is all correct. 

Thanks,

Andrew

I was using the Forecast Recipe -  Forecast future values and get historical residuals. There are only two Fields - Date and Total Ticket Count , Date has been parsed in ISO Date format during preparation

Attached Document has the Forecast Setting .

Hi,

Unfortunately, a PDF with a screenshot of the recipe settings is not sufficient for us to diagnose the issue.

Could you please send us a job diagnosis by following this procedure?

If the resulting file is too large for mail (> 15 MB), you can use https://dl.dataiku.com to send it to us. Please don't forget to send the link that is generated when you upload the file.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi @rennyjosetm, 

We are proud to announce that we just released a new Forecast plugin. It is based in Python, so its installation is much simpler 😎

On top of this, you will benefit from the latest Deep Learning models from GluonTS such as DeepAR and Transformer.

Give it a try, let us know what you think, and reshare if you like it ❤️

Cheers,

Alex
