> A unified interface for machine learning with time series

[Check out the latest release notes here](https://www.sktime.net/en/latest/changelog.html).

sktime is a library for time series analysis in Python. It provides a unified interface for multiple time series learning tasks. Currently, this includes forecasting, time series classification, clustering, anomaly/changepoint detection, and other tasks. It comes with [time series algorithms](https://www.sktime.net/en/stable/estimator_overview.html) and [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) compatible tools to build, tune, and validate time series models.
