在 Ray 中使用 Prophet 或 Auto ARIMA

Question

关于 Ray 的一些事情我找不到明确的答案。 Ray 是一个用于数据处理和训练的分布式框架。为了使其以分布式方式工作，必须使用 Modin 或 Ray 支持的其他分布式数据分析工具，以便数据可以在整个集群上流动，但是如果我想使用像 Facebook 的 Prophet 或 ARIMA 这样的模型，它需要pandas 数据帧作为输入？当我使用 pandas 数据帧作为模型函数的参数时，它会只在单个节点上工作还是有可能的解决方法让它在集群上工作？

Answer 1

Ray 能够使用 pandas 个数据帧作为输入来训练模型！

目前，ARIMA 需要一些变通方法，因为它通常在幕后使用 statsmodels 库。为了确保模型正确序列化，需要一个额外的 pickle 步骤。 Ray 可能会在未来消除对 pickle 变通方法的需求。

查看 pickle 解决方法的解释：https://alkaline-ml.com/pmdarima/1.0.0/serialization.html

这里是 python 3.8 和 ray 1.8 的代码摘录。请注意，train_model() 和 inference_model() 函数的输入是 pandas 数据帧。额外的 pickle 步骤嵌入在这些函数中。 https://github.com/christy/AnyscaleDemos/blob/main/forecasting_demos/nyctaxi_arima_simple.ipynb
