Why we included this project

Prophet is a practical forecasting tool for time series with strong seasonal patterns and several seasons of history behind them. It fits an additive model that captures seasonality at multiple scales, from daily to yearly, plus holiday effects, and it stays reliable when data has gaps, trend changes, or outliers. Analysts can get usable predictions quickly in Python or R, and the parameters are human-interpretable, so you can adjust them when you need more control. That makes it a good fit for demand planning, capacity, and other recurring business metrics. One thing to know: the project is in maintenance mode as of v1.4.0, so expect bug fixes and dependency updates rather than new features.
