sktime

sktime
open source / Overall score: 3.6

Python library with one scikit-learn-style interface across time-series learning tasks - forecasting, classification, regression, clustering, anomaly and changepoint detection - and tools for pipelining, ensembling, tuning and reduction between them. It interfaces statsmodels, Prophet, PyOD and other libraries alongside its own estimators. A consensus-governed community project, with support services sold by a separate company.

sktime does for time series what scikit-learn does for tables: many learners behind one interface, with the composition and tuning tools to compare them. Picking and combining models is still the user's job.
