I want to use auto.arima but in Python. How do I do it
i am asking for a particular function auto.arima that basically automates the forecasting process by running multiple ARIMA models. Hence it is not really a library recommendation - instead its more of a thing that can be troubleshooted by existing statsmodel (and previous question has had no improvement in 2 years) so risking the - i asked the question
Reference https://www.otexts.org/fpp/8/7
An earlier question asked this at auto.arima() equivalent for python
The auto.arima() function in R uses a variation of the Hyndman and Khandakar algorithm which combines unit root tests, minimization of the AICc and MLE to obtain an ARIMA model. The algorithm follows these steps. Hyndman-Khandakar algorithm for automatic ARIMA modelling
The number of differences dd is determined using repeated KPSS tests.
The values of pp and qq are then chosen by minimizing the AICc after differencing the data dd times. Rather than considering every possible combination of pp and qq, the algorithm uses a stepwise search to traverse the model space.
(a) The best model (with smallest AICc) is selected from the following four:
ARIMA(2,d,2),
ARIMA(0,d,0),
ARIMA(1,d,0),
ARIMA(0,d,1).
If d=0d=0 then the constant cc is included; if d≥1d≥1 then the constant cc is set to zero. This is called the "current model".
(b) Variations on the current model are considered:
vary pp and/or qq from the current model by ±1±1;
include/exclude cc from the current model.
The best model considered so far (either the current model, or one of these variations) becomes the new current model.
(c) Repeat Step 2(b) until no lower AICc can be found.

A simple solution is to call your R function from Python. One way to do that is to use the interface rpy2. The repository is here and the Python Package Index (PyPI) page is here.
