Hi Rafaela,   Ive just released version 1.0.27 and 1.1.27 of the Weka timeseriesForecasting package for Weka 3.8 and 3.9 respectively. This fixes the issue with the artificial timestamp. What was happening was that the forecasters timestamp was left one step beyond the end of the training data (rather ...

Hmm. Looks like there is a bug somewhere (either Weka or PMI forecasting is correct :-)) when using an artificial timestamp. However, I do get exactly the same results from both when using your timestamp field and setting the periodicity to Monthly.   Ill look into it. Thanks for the bug report.   Cheers, ...

Hi Rafaela,   It is impossible to diagnose the problem without a path to reproduce it. Can you supply the input data, algorithm + parameter settings, and process taken in Weka and PDI?   Cheers, Mark.

Hi Rafaela,   I cant reproduce this problem using my test data for the step. So, I think you are saying that the rounding problem is affecting the input to the forecaster (rather than the output) - is that correct? I was assuming that the problem was in the fractional part of the predicted output values ...

Hi Rafaela,   Are you looking at predictions in PDIs preview window, as shown here for Weka Forecasting (PMI Forecasting is an updated version of this)?:   https://wiki.pentaho.com/display/DATAMINING/Using+the+Weka+Forecasting+Plugin   If so, then this is just how the PDI preview works. It displays only ...

As I said earlier, PMIs python engine is not compatible with python virtual environments (as managed by conda). I dont use conda - just python directly from the Anacoda prompt (and standard Command prompt once the necessary entries to the PATH variable were added). When I tested using the latest version ...

Hmm. Im running out of suggestions. I figured that Id reproduced your problem with the latest version of Anaconda python, and adding the additional paths got things working for me again under Windows 8. Can you verify that python starts and that various packages can be imported from a Command prompt ...

Argh! It appears that Anaconda have complicated things in their most recent release. It used to be the case that the installer would add a single entry to your PATH variable for you automatically (and this could be seen when viewing/editing environment variables in System Properties). This is no longer ...

OK, this is an improvement - you only have one engine unavailable now :-) Is the python executable in your PATH? Did you install Anaconda system wide or just for your user? In the past, there have been some issues with system-wide installations of python (something to do with file permissions and not ...

Hmm. Perhaps the Weka packages (wekaPython, RPlugin, wekaDeeplearning4j) did not get installed the first time you re-started PDI after installing PMI? You can check by looking in $(user.home)/wekafiles/packages. If you have been using Weka as a stand-alone tool in the past, then Id suggest blowing away ...

Hi Ingo, We only officially released PMI version 1.4 last week. October 23 would have been a draft of the install documents :-) Did you access this from the github repository for PMI? If so, grab another copy and you will find the following (in bold) on page 9: NOTE: If you have an older version of PMI ...

Did you remove your old version of PMI from /plugins/steps? The old PMI plugin directory is called pmi. Version 1.4 installs into a new directory called plugin-machine-intelligence. The install docs specify that it is necessary to remove the old one first. If ~/wekafiles has been cleaned out and pmi ...

Cool! Thanks Ingo. Ill incorporate this fix into the next release of the wekaPython package and the PDI CPython script executor step. Cheers, Mark.

Do you have scipy installed? PMI also requires this. You can run python ~/wekafiles/packages/wekaPython/resources/py/pyCheck.py   (Adapt the above for Windows with respect to pointing to your home directory and backslashes etc.).   This is what it checks for: def check_libraries():     check_min_python() ...
