Abstract: 

Temporal data requires special care to model as it violates several principles of standard machine learning models. R has long had top-of-the-line forecasting tools, though recently new ones have been developed which greatly ease working with time series data. We use the tsibble package for manipulating time series data, feasts for visualization , and fable for building forecasting models such as ETS and ARIMA.
