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
seasonal_periods	int	Number of seasonal periods in a year If not set, inferred from frequency of the series.	7	True
n_predict	int	Number of days to forecast	5	True
