2019/08/21 - Amazon Forecast Service - 26 new api methods
Changes Update forecast client to latest version
Imports your training data to an Amazon Forecast dataset. You provide the location of your training data in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset that you want to import the data to.
You must specify a DataSource object that includes an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the data. For more information, see aws-forecast-iam-roles.
Two properties of the training data are optionally specified:
The delimiter that separates the data fields. The default delimiter is a comma (,), which is the only supported delimiter in this release.
The format of timestamps. If the format is not specified, Amazon Forecast expects the format to be "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss".
When Amazon Forecast uploads your training data, it verifies that the data was collected at the DataFrequency specified when the target dataset was created. For more information, see CreateDataset and howitworks-datasets-groups. Amazon Forecast also verifies the delimiter and timestamp format.
You can use the ListDatasetImportJobs operation to get a list of all your dataset import jobs, filtered by specified criteria.
To get a list of all your dataset import jobs, filtered by the specified criteria, use the ListDatasetGroups operation.

Creates an Amazon Forecast predictor.
In the request, you provide a dataset group and either specify an algorithm or let Amazon Forecast choose the algorithm for you using AutoML. If you specify an algorithm, you also can override algorithm-specific hyperparameters.
Amazon Forecast uses the chosen algorithm to train a model using the latest version of the datasets in the specified dataset group. The result is called a predictor. You then generate a forecast using the CreateForecast operation.
After training a model, the CreatePredictor operation also evaluates it. To see the evaluation metrics, use the GetAccuracyMetrics operation. Always review the evaluation metrics before deciding to use the predictor to generate a forecast.
Optionally, you can specify a featurization configuration to fill and aggragate the data fields in the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset to improve model training. For more information, see FeaturizationConfig.
AutoML
If you set PerformAutoML to true, Amazon Forecast evaluates each algorithm and chooses the one that minimizes the objective function. The objective function is defined as the mean of the weighted p10, p50, and p90 quantile losses. For more information, see EvaluationResult.
When AutoML is enabled, the following properties are disallowed:
AlgorithmArn
HPOConfig
PerformHPO
TrainingParameters
To get a list of all your predictors, use the ListPredictors operation.

string
[REQUIRED]
A name for the predictor.
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the algorithm to use for model training. Required if PerformAutoML is not set to true.
Supported algorithms
arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/ARIMA
arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/Deep_AR_Plus - supports hyperparameter optimization (HPO)
arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/ETS
arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/NPTS
arn:aws:forecast:::algorithm/Prophet
integer
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the number of time-steps that the model is trained to predict. The forecast horizon is also called the prediction length.
For example, if you configure a dataset for daily data collection (using the DataFrequency parameter of the CreateDataset operation) and set the forecast horizon to 10, the model returns predictions for 10 days.
boolean
Whether to perform AutoML. The default value is false. In this case, you are required to specify an algorithm.
If you want Amazon Forecast to evaluate the algorithms it provides and choose the best algorithm and configuration for your training dataset, set PerformAutoML to true. This is a good option if you aren't sure which algorithm is suitable for your application.
boolean
Whether to perform hyperparameter optimization (HPO). HPO finds optimal hyperparameter values for your training data. The process of performing HPO is known as a hyperparameter tuning job.
The default value is false. In this case, Amazon Forecast uses default hyperparameter values from the chosen algorithm.
To override the default values, set PerformHPO to true and supply the HyperParameterTuningJobConfig object. The tuning job specifies an objective metric, the hyperparameters to optimize, and the valid range for each hyperparameter.
The following algorithms support HPO:

Creates an Amazon Forecast dataset. The information about the dataset that you provide helps Forecast understand how to consume the data for model training. This includes the following:
DataFrequency - How frequently your historical time-series data is collected. Amazon Forecast uses this information when training the model and generating a forecast.
Domain and DatasetType - Each dataset has an associated dataset domain and a type within the domain. Amazon Forecast provides a list of predefined domains and types within each domain. For each unique dataset domain and type within the domain, Amazon Forecast requires your data to include a minimum set of predefined fields.
Schema - A schema specifies the fields of the dataset, including the field name and data type.
After creating a dataset, you import your training data into the dataset and add the dataset to a dataset group. You then use the dataset group to create a predictor. For more information, see howitworks-datasets-groups.
To get a list of all your datasets, use the ListDatasets operation.

Creates a forecast for each item in the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset that was used to train the predictor. This is known as inference. To retrieve the forecast for a single item at low latency, use the operation. To export the complete forecast into your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), use the CreateForecastExportJob operation.
The range of the forecast is determined by the ForecastHorizon, specified in the CreatePredictor request, multiplied by the DataFrequency, specified in the CreateDataset request. When you query a forecast, you can request a specific date range within the complete forecast.
To get a list of all your forecasts, use the ListForecasts operation.

list
An array of filters. For each filter, you provide a condition and a match statement. The condition is either IS or IS_NOT, which specifies whether to include or exclude, respectively, from the list, the predictors that match the statement. The match statement consists of a key and a value. In this release, Name is the only valid key, which filters on the DatasetImportJobName property.
Condition - IS or IS_NOT
Key - Name
Value - the value to match
For example, to list all dataset import jobs named my_dataset_import_job, you would specify:
"Filters": [ { "Condition": "IS", "Key": "Name", "Value": "my_dataset_import_job" } ]
(dict) --
Describes a filter for choosing a subset of objects. Each filter consists of a condition and a match statement. The condition is either IS or IS_NOT, which specifies whether to include or exclude, respectively, the objects that match the statement. The match statement consists of a key and a value.
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the parameter to filter on.
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
A valid value for Key.
Condition (string) -- [REQUIRED]
