Orbit is a Python package for Bayesian time series forecasting and inference with an initialize-fit-predict interface. It uses probabilistic programming backends like Pyro and Stan (via cmdstanpy) under the hood.

Use cases

• forecast time series with bayesian methods
• fit exponential smoothing models in python
• predict future sales or demand with uncertainty estimates
• detect changepoints in time series data
• run bayesian regression on temporal data
• compare forecasting models like arima and ets

When to choose

• you need probabilistic forecasts with uncertainty quantification
• you want a scikit-learn-like fit/predict API for time series
• you need bayesian structural time series or exponential smoothing models

When to avoid

• you need lightweight classical forecasting without bayesian sampling overhead
• you cannot install cmdstanpy or its Stan toolchain dependencies
• you need real-time low-latency predictions rather than batch forecasting
