Multiple Inputs in Neural Prophet

[karthikraja95]

How can I use multiple inputs in Neural Prophet? By looking at the example notebooks I see we need to have two columns ds as date and y as a target variable?

My question is how to add other features with ds (Date). For example, some categorical features to be considered by the neural prophet model?

For categorical features, please see the discussion #139

@HansikaPH Thanks

Yes, that is the minimal input.

My question is how to add other features with ds (Date).

May events or a type of regressor serve your needs?

@ourownstory I have multiple features (both categorical and non-categorical) that I would like the model to consider as inputs along with ds to predict the target variable y? Is this possible with the neural prophet?

@karthikraja95 yes, you can model numeric features with regressors and you can convert categorical features to one binary feature per category and then model them as regressors or events.
