Python plots, Walk-Forward-Validation

Major

• Most importantly, wherever QT App doesn't work, Python plotting can be used as an alternative
• Python is also used for ACF, PACF and Seasonal Decomposition plots: standard TSA tools
• Monte Carlo optimization delivers a set of results, yielding a glimpse into the future about how well the model would perform for new data
• The solution can now be optimized by 3 methods: Naive Grid-Search O(n^m), Multidimensional Bisection Method O(m*log(n)), and Monte Carlo O(n) with an early stop option, when the variance changes are below a certain configurable threshold.

Windows minimal release

Major

• Windows now uses 2 types of releases: full, including gnuplot and its dependencies for plotting in the console, as well as a minimal one, just under 10 MB.
• User can now interactively select the prediction algorithm via the wxConfigurator
• Link Time Optimization will squeeze the last cycles of your CPU to boost the calculation speeds

Full Changelog: v0.1.6-alpha...v0.1.7-alpha

v0.1.6-alpha

What's Changed

• Binary artifacts for Mac and Windows
• Mac uses Link Time Optimization
• Windows port: the released binary has a working console program, including plots

wxConf application for all targets

The wxConf app allows controlling all other applications conveniently, using GUI. See README.md.

Windows support

The current version supports Windows.

Unfortunately the QT application don't work under Windows for now.

The good news is, that for all of the supported targets the unit tests can be ran now.

Mac OSX support

The current version supports Mac OSX 10.15 & 11 (as delivered by GitHub Actions)

Build instructions

Unfortunately the following features don't work on either of these:

• QT application
• Unit Tests

QCustomPlot stored locally

Previously QCustomPlot would be downloaded from the Author's website. Now it's being stored in this repo.

Please delete the contents of the build directory.

After building, you can play around with the QT application with the following example command line options:
./tsqsim-qt --min-year 2015 --max-year 2016 --per h12

• Mouse right click reloads the data. Useful when a configuration has changed
• Mouse scroll zooms in and out
• Mouse drag with left click moves the viewpoint within the same dataset
• Cursors left/right move the viewpoint left/right, loading new dataset
• Cursors up/down scale up/down

QT app

Created a QT application for visualization. It accepts the same command line parameters, as the console app.

Dev news: enabled working from the build directory, not just from the installation dir.
