Options

--predictor-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the predictor that you want information about.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

FeaturizationConfig -> (structure)

The featurization configuration.

ForecastFrequency -> (string)

The frequency of predictions in a forecast.

Valid intervals are an integer followed by Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), and min (Minute). For example, "1D" indicates every day and "15min" indicates every 15 minutes. You cannot specify a value that would overlap with the next larger frequency. That means, for example, you cannot specify a frequency of 60 minutes, because that is equivalent to 1 hour. The valid values for each frequency are the following:

  • Minute - 1-59
  • Hour - 1-23
  • Day - 1-6
  • Week - 1-4
  • Month - 1-11
  • Year - 1

Thus, if you want every other week forecasts, specify "2W". Or, if you want quarterly forecasts, you specify "3M".

The frequency must be greater than or equal to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.

When a RELATED_TIME_SERIES dataset is provided, the frequency must be equal to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset frequency.

ForecastDimensions -> (list)

An array of dimension (field) names that specify how to group the generated forecast.

For example, suppose that you are generating a forecast for item sales across all of your stores, and your dataset contains a store_id field. If you want the sales forecast for each item by store, you would specify store_id as the dimension.

All forecast dimensions specified in the TARGET_TIME_SERIES dataset don't need to be specified in the CreatePredictor request. All forecast dimensions specified in the RELATED_TIME_SERIES dataset must be specified in the CreatePredictor request.

(string)

Featurizations -> (list)

An array of featurization (transformation) information for the fields of a dataset.

(structure)

Note

This object belongs to the CreatePredictor operation. If you created your predictor with CreateAutoPredictor , see AttributeConfig .

Provides featurization (transformation) information for a dataset field. This object is part of the FeaturizationConfig object.

For example:

{

"AttributeName": "demand",

FeaturizationPipeline [ {

"FeaturizationMethodName": "filling",

"FeaturizationMethodParameters": {"aggregation": "avg", "backfill": "nan"}

} ]

}

AttributeName -> (string)

The name of the schema attribute that specifies the data field to be featurized. Amazon Forecast supports the target field of the TARGET_TIME_SERIES and the RELATED_TIME_SERIES datasets. For example, for the RETAIL domain, the target is demand , and for the CUSTOM domain, the target is target_value . For more information, see howitworks-missing-values .

FeaturizationPipeline -> (list)

An array of one FeaturizationMethod object that specifies the feature transformation method.

(structure)

Provides information about the method that featurizes (transforms) a dataset field. The method is part of the FeaturizationPipeline of the Featurization object.

The following is an example of how you specify a FeaturizationMethod object.

{

"FeaturizationMethodName": "filling",

"FeaturizationMethodParameters": {"aggregation": "sum", "middlefill": "zero", "backfill": "zero"}

}

FeaturizationMethodName -> (string)

The name of the method. The "filling" method is the only supported method.

FeaturizationMethodParameters -> (map)

The method parameters (key-value pairs), which are a map of override parameters. Specify these parameters to override the default values. Related Time Series attributes do not accept aggregation parameters.

The following list shows the parameters and their valid values for the "filling" featurization method for a Target Time Series dataset. Bold signifies the default value.

  • aggregation : sum , avg , first , min , max
  • frontfill : none
  • middlefill : zero , nan (not a number), value , median , mean , min , max
  • backfill : zero , nan , value , median , mean , min , max

The following list shows the parameters and their valid values for a Related Time Series featurization method (there are no defaults):

  • middlefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max
  • backfill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max
  • futurefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max

To set a filling method to a specific value, set the fill parameter to value and define the value in a corresponding _value parameter. For example, to set backfilling to a value of 2, include the following: "backfill": "value" and "backfill_value":"2" .
