'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'

[adityamalikzeiss]

I am getting the following exceptions while trying Auto_TS:

Exception occurred while building Prophet model...
'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'
FB Prophet may not be installed or Model is not running...

Exception occurred while building Auto SARIMAX model...
'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'
Auto SARIMAX model error: predictions not available.

I have followed the example notebook given for univariate model.

Getting the exact same errors when executing the autots_univariate_example.ipynb:

Best model is a Seasonal SARIMAX(2,1,1)*(0,0,0,12), aic = 2458.432
Exception occurred while building Auto SARIMAX model...
'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'
Auto SARIMAX model error: predictions not available.

Fold Number: 2 --> Train Shape: 441 Test Shape: 5

replace line models\build_*.py:
extra_concatenated = extra_concatenated.append(concatenated)

to
`**try:

extra_concatenated = extra_concatenated.append(concatenated)

except Exception as e:

extra_concatenated = pd.concat([extra_concatenated,concatenated])** `

in line 968 auto_ts_init_.py:

Now make predictions using model given

predictions=None <---- local variable

yes I am aware that the new pandas has deprecated the append statement. I will try to upgrade auto-ts soon with pandas 2.0.

Currently there are problems between dask and pandas that it may be difficult to upgrade one vs. other.
