How to perform TBATS Model in R?, The term “TBATS” refers to a well-liked time series forecasting technique and stands for

The following models can be used with and without this method

The final model in this procedure will be the one with the lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) score.

How to perform TBATS Model in R

Using the tbats function from the forecast package is the simplest way to fit a TBATS model to a time series dataset in R.

How to actually use this function is demonstrated in the example that follows.

How to Fit a TBATS Model in R, for instance.

We’ll use USAccDeaths, a built-in R dataset that contains values for the total monthly accidental deaths in the USA from 1973 to 1978, for this example.

Dataset USAccDeaths:-

USAccDeaths
       Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul   Aug   Sep   Oct   Nov   Dec
1973  9007  8106  8928  9137 10017 10826 11317 10744  9713  9938  9161  8927

1975  8162  7306  8124  7870  9387  9556 10093  9620  8285  8466  8160  8034

To fit a TBATS model to this dataset and forecast the values of upcoming months, use the following code:

library(forecast)
fit <- tbats(USAccDeaths)
predict <- predict(fit)
predict

The output includes the predicted death toll for the following months as well as the 80% and 95% confidence intervals.

The forecasts for January 1979, for instance, are as follows:

8,307.597 fatalities are anticipated.

Death toll: [7982.943, 8632.251] 80% Confidence Interval ]

Death toll 95% Confidence Interval: [7811.081, 8804 .113]

These anticipated future values can also be plotted using the plot() function.
