Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default	Optional
data	Union[pd.Series, np.array]	Data to forecast	None	False
dataset_name str	None	The name of the ticker to be predicted	None	True
target_column	Optional[str]:	Target column to forecast. Defaults to "close".	close	True
n_predict	int	Number of days to forecast	5	True
start_window	float	Size of sliding window from start of timeseries and onwards	0.85	True
forecast_horizon	int	Number of days to forecast when backtesting and retraining historical	5	True
export	str	Format to export data		True
residuals	bool	Whether to show residuals for the model. Defaults to False.	False	True
forecast_only	bool	Whether to only show dates in the forecasting range. Defaults to False.	False	True
start_date	Optional[datetime]	The starting date to perform analysis, data before this is trimmed. Defaults to None.	None	True
end_date	Optional[datetime]	The ending date to perform analysis, data after this is trimmed. Defaults to None.	None	True
