forecastML - Time Series Forecasting with Machine Learning Methods

The purpose of 'forecastML' is to simplify the process of multi-step-ahead forecasting with standard machine learning algorithms. 'forecastML' supports lagged, dynamic, static, and grouping features for modeling single and grouped numeric or factor/sequence time series. In addition, simple wrapper functions are used to support model-building with most R packages. This approach to forecasting is inspired by Bergmeir, Hyndman, and Koo's (2018) paper "A note on the validity of cross-validation for evaluating autoregressive time series prediction" <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2017.11.003>.
