ValueError: You must pass a freq argument as current index has none

Question

I'm using pycaret.time_series alpha module but I have this problem avec launching my experiment. I think this is internal to the module. Can anyone help ?

`from pycaret.time_series import *

 exp_name = setup(data = df ,index='ds', target='y', fold = 5, fh = 15)`

and i got this :

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) c:\Users\elsem\Python\Andre_Coach\ts.ipynb Cell 46' in <cell line: 1>() ----> 1 exp_name = setup(data = df ,index='ds', target='y', fold = 5, fh = 15)

my df looks like this:

Answer 1

Try converting the ds column to datetime manually outside pycaret before feeding to setup. That should hopefully resolve the issue.
