I trained my ARIMA model by doing the following

from statsmodels.tsa.arima.model import ARIMA

model_ar = ARIMA(data.Num_Passengers, order=(1,0, 0))

results_ar = model_ar.fit()results_ar.summary()

The code worked with the resulting output

But then I tried predicting on the testing dataset, and I got the following error.

Am I just messing something up, is anyone else dealing with this error?

Is there another way to use the predict function, or is it really unimplemented.

Could you please help me out with this?

How would I overwrite the method?

Read the documentation, you are using it incorrectly.

Try googling 'statsmodels predict' and pay attention to which object the .predict() method is called from.

model_ar.fit().predict(test)

Usually people do

res=model_ar.fit()

res.summary()

preds = res.predict(test)

Python statmodels is bad. It cannot handle hour data for example. Use R if you do time series.

What do you mean when you say it can't handle hour data? I haven't ran into any issues with it as of yet.

You have to make very weird code in Pandas to handle data on hour intervals (15:00, 16:00, 17:00 etc) with statmodels. In R this is no issue. Convert to tsibble and you are good to go.

In the end the observations you feed to the model will boil down to a sequentially indexed array, so it isn't too much effort to map indices to hour intervals with a time column. You will have to extend the time column to match the forecasted indices though, but that isn't too much effort at the end of the day.
