Error importing auto_arima from pyramid

Question

Trying to use pyramid's auto arima function and getting nowhere.

Importing the whole class:

import pyramid



stepwise_fit = auto_arima(df.Weighted_Price, start_p=0, start_q=0, max_p=10, max_q=10, m=1,
                      start_P=0, seasonal=True, trace=True,
                      error_action='ignore',  # don't want to know if an order does not work
                      suppress_warnings=True,  # don't want convergence warnings
                      stepwise=True)  # set to stepwise

I get error message:

NameError: name 'auto_arima' is not defined

Fine, then let's import that specific package from pyramid.

from pyramid.arima import auto_arima

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last) RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xb but this version of numpy is 0xa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) in () 1 #trying to import pyramid ----> 2 from pyramid.arima import auto_arima

ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

After importing numpy, or even after just running the block again, I get this error message when running from pyramid.arima import auto_arima

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) in () 1 #trying to import pyramid ----> 2 from pyramid import arima

ImportError: cannot import name C_Approx

Answer 1

Try to install pmdarima by using pip:

pip install pmdarima

then in your python script use:

from pmdarima.arima import auto_arima

Answer 2

Environment: Windows 10 IDE: Pycharm Python: 3.6

In Anaconda, create a new environment and then run:

pip install pyramid-arima

Now in your python code, you can use:

from pyramid.arima import auto_arima
